E5-2640 2.50GHz (6 cores, 12 threads, 15MB cache)
8GB ECC DDR3
500GB HDD
FirePro V5900 2GB GDDR5

Performance?
I presume the GPU is fairly weak though

You can get a different used workstation that does. Dual X5670.

How does that generation of Xeon compare to the E5

Games, also some dev work (CPU bound).
Sorry, I was intrigued about buying a used workstation after reading about them in a thread last night.
I guess I'll also have to factor in a new GPU and SSD though.

Dual to 1:

http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Xeon+E5-2640+%40+2.50GHz
Can get it with Windows 7 for $30 more (and probably better with one 500GB than 2x250GB):

OK yes I can. This will overall be a more balanced build for you:
