Why do you want blade servers? You would probably find three small rack mount servers would suit you better.
Blade servers need a hardware infrastructure to work, the cooling, power, ethernet and fibre connections are all devolved to the blade enclosure which you need to set up via, for example, HP's Onboard Administrator. All just another layer of complexity which you probably don't need. Maybe I'm wrong? HP's C-class blades come with a sixteen slot half height blade enclosure which is a bit of overkill and unnecessary expense.
How about three HP DL360 1U rackmounts, each about £100.00 upwards on eBay? The server quickspec is
here.
I don't think you'll find cheap blade servers on eBay.
Play Bonny!
