Used parts doesn't really matter on brands.
And in most cases single CPU works better for home use purpose unless you have special requirement. X5650 or X5667 might work better than 5550.
Z600 with w3680 or w3690
I guess i already had this discusssion with you.. :-)
Well then might go for an x5650 or atleast e5620
Most applications are multicore, not single core, so most applications can use dual cpu. @OP if you want real power find dual X5650
For what it's worth I've got a HP Z something workstation and 2 tower servers from 2007 that still work to this day.
How much power these consume?
Build it yourself. I'd go Dell though if you had to choose - HP uses more proprietary parts.
I was actually thinking of dell if a single hexa core and hp in case of dual quad core
If you don't want to build it yourself, and you are only interested in HP and Dell, then I have to recommend Dell.
Otherwise have a look at Lenovo as well.
Finding consumef grade mobos and psu and case etc are easy and cheap... But sever. Enterperise grade stuff... Like xeons is tough and expensive
