JK Compaq Proliant, 512MB RAM, RAID1 for Operating System, RAID5 drives for the Database. If possible place the Logs on a separate drive (RAID1 should be ok). PIII 800mhz or faster is more than enough.
Don't go by the Microsoft recommendations. If possible, place Exchange on a Member Server in a Domain, rather than a Domain Controller. One of my clients is a 12 user base, they have a PIII 700 with 512MB RAM and is a DC (Only Server in the Domain). If money is not an issue, try to make the server as fault tolerant as possible. Hope this helps! Might sound overspecced, but prices are cheap for RAM / Storage.
