From my humble experience as an ISP:
Unless these are rather heavy loaded domains, with seriously large
webpages and/or people sending large amounts of mail, this could be
amply serviced by just anything above a 386 with 64mb :)
So I guess any answer to this question is about right.
Getting it in 1U with a seperate card requires somewhat more thought
since you'd want a video-chipset onboard to save on extra slots.
Lik eother suggested, I too have good experience with Tyan stuff.
Although I have a desktop Tiger K8W S275, which would not fit the 1U
requirement.
