"Hi,

It's a good question and i never find a good answer. For example i have a client on an IBM xSeries 3650 M3, a raid 5 of 8 hdd 10k, this server host 4 WM one is TSE on win2003 32 bits and one win2008r2 with TSE. no problem and 30 clients TSE, one vm is only for Anti-Virus Trend Micro. Before that they work on IBM x336 with shared drive IBM Iseries with 30 clients (excel, word, mail, internet, Antivirus Server, bdd for logistic, with 4 gb de ram and it works.

A good tuto but in french :

Office pc: AMD X3, 4 gb ram, integrated VGA, 320 HD.

Server: depdending on your needs but a "normal" xenon 4 cores should be fine with 12 gb ram.
