The link is very interesting since it confirms that the Z420 can handle 4 CPU's which are not in the HP Quickspecs:
E5-2660 - 8C/16T, 2.2 - 3.0 Ghz
E5-2670 - 8C/16T, 2.6 - 3.3 Ghz
E5-2680 - 8C/16T, 2.7 - 3.5 Ghz
E5-2690 - 8C/16T, 2.9 - 3.8 Ghz
Since these are v1 CPU's prices on these are pretty reasonable at the moment. Good find.
