Well depending on the available infrastructure, a "cheap" workstation for 800€ will do the job. Then you have 4200€ remaining to buy compute bricks. You should definitely get more than 4 cores from this ammount.
Yes. I agree with you. If we can afford to do something like google: running bare-bone computer with just motherboard+CPU+RAM+HD on racks with good air ventilation, we can save much. But our IT guys want nice cabinates.
Any suggestions or comments?

Yepp, plz comment my comments, since we're planing to by additional compute nodes. ATM, we're thinking about 8-way opteron nodes with barcelona core, if it is available.
Yes. This is a good choice especially you only have GB Ethernet connection. The only shortcoming of Barcelona is how long AMD need to push it to 3.0GHz. 2007Q4? Not sure.
Best
