That would be the expensive route. The inexpensive route would be to
buy FXS ethernet gateways, like this:
http://www.voipsupply.com/grandstream-gxw4248. You could then get by
with a single reasonably sized asterisk box (probably two setup as HA)
and no need for expensive cards or complex channel bank setup. We have
done many hotels this way with great results.

spending money to get that many fxs ports is going to negate any
savings of reusing analog phones instead of buying ip phones
1000 analog ports sounds like hell and if it was me I would be
embarrassed to have a setup like that tied to my name if I was a
consultant etc. Someone will come in after you and ask who set it up
and the customer will say you :)

A PCI express card with four primary rate ISDN ports, each linked
up to a
channel bank, will give you 120 analogue lines. So you will need
nine such
cards; and for reasons of simple numbers of slots on a
motherboard, they will
have to be split among three or more servers, linked to a gigabit
switch.
You might end up getting a better deal if you bought 1000 hardware
SIP phones.
(You also would probably increase your personal indispensability
factor, into
the bargain .....)
