i3/i5/i7 vs Intel Xeon

[Keith Smith]

I don't know how I ended up on this page :  
http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/deals?~ck=mn#!dlpgid=poweredge-tower-server-deals 
  Probably because I am always looking for deals.

That is what prompted my question about i3/i5/i7 vs Intel Xeon.

I was looking at the PowerEdge T110 II Tower Server which is selling for 
$369.00.  I was thinking it would be nice to upgrade this to 16GB and 
add a couple HD's to it (that I can get off new egg) and configure as 
RAID 1.  Add a couple inexpensive video cards and potentially drive 4 
flat screens.  The CPU Intel Xeon E3-1230 v2 is smoken' hot!!  4 cores 
and 8 threads.  And the benchmark is plenty good.  
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Xeon+E3-1230+V2+%40+3.30GHz

This might only cost $1300 or $1400 for everything.

Or use it to build a very nice web server.
