You can run 2003 SBS server which ships with exchange, or run 2008 SBS server , though main requirements are 4GB of RAM and above 60GB of Hard disk space, you can run your PDC/AD on this, internal DNS and also has share point 2 but installing sharepoint 7 should have you flying well, you can install a wiki type interface for your internal documents and possibly do some kind of version control if you explore more , runs pretty solid once setup.
