indeed...
indeed, my personal internet server (sharing a friend's coloc bay) is a 2U HP DL180G6 12GB 12 core 2.6ghz SAS machine with 12 3.5" bays I got off fleabay for $740. throw in a couple SSD's for database and software, and a couple SATA drives for bulk storage, and it totally rocks. I host a variety of nonprofit websites and such on this. we paid $7000 for the exact same kit a few years ago at work.
