Need advice on a 1U server build

Yeah, I know, old school, but it's all I have to work with. I need as much cpu horsepower as possible in a little 1u server box. I found a used box with dual 771 xeons, quads at 2.5, and dual 250g sata hds, something like that. Asking was $500us. I really, really need something like that, and have multiple support for funds. Any ideas?
Edit: the first game is a sim that takes enormous amounts of cpu power to run.
