I am looking for a Dell workstation that takes dual dual-core processors (so
eight cores) and has room internally for at least four 5 1/4" devices (DVD,
Creative Sound Blaster I/O panel, and two drive containers that hold four
2.5" SAS drives in each 5 1/4" drive bay (so eight 2.5 SAS drives). At
least one PCI Express video would be needed. Two PCI Express video would
be fine.

What are my options if I want a Dell Precision or XPS?

the xps720 is probably the only system currently avail that may
accommodate that.
4 5-1/4 drive bays, 4 internal 3-1/2 drive bays and 2 external 3-1/2 bays.

But I don't believe it supports two CPUs, does it?

I think the OP's choices are reduced to the Precision T7400 for both the CPU
and hard drive capacity issues, or at least according to Dell's own specs at
the site:
