Just thought I'd post the specs for the original Def Con Forums server when we hosted it a few years back. We must have hosted for 4 years or so. This box was not dedicated to the forums either. It originally was for personal use/fun and email/web services for friends and family.
White box
Used (and free) 450mhz PII on a 440gx chipset
512MB RAM PC100
30GB 7200rpm IBM Deskstar ATA 66 HD - Master
2GB 5400rpm WD ATA 33 HD - Slave (for swap et al.)
T 10/100 3Com Ethernet card.
Debian GNU/Linux stable
Customized kernel from kernel.org
Services: DNS, HTTP, HTTPS, IPTABLES, SSH, FTP, MYSQL, Email
Best uptime: 400+ days (We lost the original uptime > uptime.txt file)
Bandwidth was a private but shared T1.
