my experience with "supercomputers" (more than 2.5k) is this: at the end the best is to lease everything for a year, maybe to years contract. if you buy you are loosing a lottttt. computer's world is going too fast to buy something, if you have the knowledge to build your own renderfarm piece by piece, do it.
at the end is cheaper than lease, but if you are thinking in buy retail, hp, dell, etc, remember those guys are hungry for your money.

my experience with dell sistems and slow performance: low capacity hard drives, they build always with those funny 10 gigs scsii hard drives, after 2 or 3 users in the same sistem the temp files full your hard drive. comp performance go down 50% in everything
check it out
good luck
