This post may be a bit long, but I want to try to help you to the best I can. I guess the biggest question for you is this : What are your goals? What are these servers going to be used for?

Homebrew :
If you are looking to get a server for your house, to tinker with, and learn more about server hardware and configuration, then skip on buying these expensive servers people are going to try and sell you. A full speced out server will run you a pretty penny. If you are looking to learn about linux, and such, then you do not need something like this.

Check facebook for local "Homebrew" groups. These are groups filled with people who are interested in running servers in their home, and creating a sort of home network style setup. From virtualization, to FreeNAS, to Plex, and more, these groups can help you learn a lot.

Not only are they good for learning, but a lot of people sell their old hardware that you can usually get a good deal on. I have purchased many built servers, chassis, hard drives, RAM, and more from groups like this, which helped me learn and get familiar with the industry for a fraction of the cost of others.

Also check craigslist, or your countries equivalent. You can usually find deals on Dell R710s, and Dell R720s, for a fairly good price. My most recent was a Dell R710, Dual Xeon X5690s, 128GBs DDR3 RAM, and 12TBs of storage for $200. Never had an issue with it, and use it to this day to visualize instances for development work.

Starting a host:
If you are looking to start a hosting company, unless you have a large amount of money to invest into buying a full rack to co-locate, your margins will just not be there. You will be better off working with a data-center to rent hardware, and slowly scale from there. When you are at a point of being a known host, and having the sales to back it, then renting a whole rack, and providing your own hardware could be beneficial. However, you always have to remember that when there is a hardware failure, the cost is on you, as it is your hardware.

If you are trying to get a few servers running in your house, and selling hosting off of that, I highly advise against it. Most home internet connections just do not have the bandwidth to support this kind of business. Not only that, you will not have the anti-ddos infrastructure to defend and mitigate an attack. Even if your internet is gigabit, you have to remember that the "pipe" to your home is only so big.

My advice:
If you are looking for a server to tinker with, and have fun with, then find something like the Dell R710. If you are looking to start a hosting company with limited capital, then renting hardware is the move. Just remember, any outward hosting you do from your home leaves your external IP exposed, and can be a very big security risk.

Quick edit:
The stuff posted above from Server Port honestly does not look bad for a homebrew situation. Just going to depend on the shipping cost to get it to you personally.
