depends on your budget :)
We assembled a nice dual pIII server with 512Mb ram and 40Gb ide disk (+40 for backup)
running redhat 7 for less than $3000
You can spend any amount you like, from $30 for an old P133 up to $30000 for a compaq,
and choose almost any platform you like.
without indication on the load it's just hard to tell, but probably any new-bought PC
will fullfill your needs. Maybe you want some more ram, scsi drive or backup facility,
but a 1Ghz box with 256Mb is enough to run a very descent server.
Take a look at IBM's website, they make nice servers for a fair price, and claim they
are very reliable.
