In my experience white-label systems from local shops give you more bang for the buck. I've used HP a great deal, the old ones were excellent, but these days they are built to a price due to PHB's running the show. Does everybody need to compile the entire system? I would have thought that you would use build & test servers, naturally very beefy servers for the build server(s). I would suggest dual or even triple screen configs for the engineers, SSD + rotating rust drives, lots of RAM. If you really want to impress potential new hires (and burn thru cash), 27" iMacs with Retina 5k displays. Unfortunately there are no 5k 27" Thunderbolt displays.
