It depends on the number of clients, but a 5 years old box will make you
happy up to, say, 1000 clients. (Henrik has a 3000+ boxes setup hosted
on a (very) old Sun server).

In fact, the real hotspot is the hard drive, if you encounter lots of
status changes and graph much data. Get fast hard drives.

I have a nice 2x Xeon 3.2GHz with SCSI drives, it show idle 90% of the
time, and 6% waiting for IO.
