Hi Mark, at present we don't have any hardware but my advise to date has
been for the classroom servers -
Athlon 64X2 4400 2.3Ghz 2GB RAM 80Gb HDD
that should be fine (or better) for a classroom server going by

a bit more RAM if possible could help, it's cheap enough these days.

I would be tempted to put in the maximum it'll take.
I was then hoping to use recycled Celeron 1.7Ghz 256/20gb as clients
(as I can source these for £30 each)
are you going for the full thin client approach with network boot (don't
need disks in clients) or something more semi-skimmed ? Some of the cost
savings and heat/noise reduction come from thinning down the client
hardware.
If you are going for network boot check the client BIOS does this before
purchase.
