The Xeon D's are nice (8 physical / 16 logical cores for less than 45W for the D-1541) but I wouldn't recommend buying Supermicro's pre-assembled machines for home lab use; they are noisy. It would be better to buy their bare motherboards instead (e.g. http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/D/X10SDV-8C-TLN4F.cfm http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/D/X10SDV...) and self-install it into a low-noise mini-ITX case instead.
