There are also some very inexpensive server options out there you could look at that don't cost that much more than your midlevel workstations. If you're planning on using a remote access application like RDC or VNC then this might be a option for you.

Others have commented that this is in the nature of a 'how long is a piece of string?' question. Strictly speaking that is true, but I understand where you are coming from. EDI in itself is not very demanding for a PC. Many smaller firms merely install their EDI system on an existing workstation. If you want a separate machine then it normally does not need a very high specification. You do not need a fancy graphics card and monitor, in fact you can use a remote control program such as VNC and dispense with screen and keyboard altogether. You also do not need an expensive and resource consuming OS (no names, but you know what I mean). The EDI system will quickly become an integral part of your business, so you should choose a reliable computer from a reputable supplier, and be conscientious about making regular backups.
