24 cores for $2K plus memory.

This might make my SQL Server a tad faster eh?

Not that I have $2K laying around.

Throw in 64 gigs of ram for around $3K and a Raid 0 Array of SSds to house my read-only databases 
(another $2K or so) and for the neighborhood of $8K I could get some serious computing done.

Not that I have 8K laying around.

This is some pretty serious hardware though, and not costing 50K either.
