Nice setup, I have a similar one consisting of a D5400XS and 2 L5410's
 
We have a couple of Xeon 6Core Westmeres here in our test lab. They sit unused and flaccid... I wished I could just take one home and put it to good use!

Did you BSEL mod them? (ie get the L5410 FSB1333 to FSB to 1600 and ram 333 at 400). I can BSEL the E5420 no problem, but the L5420 won't go there, unfortunately. :-(

So I want to trade the L5420 for an E5420... naturally

Not yet, I do have them running at 1333 though (boards default setting is 1066).
