I would like to append to this that, cheap boxes are good, but they should be cheap boxes with fast harddrives, or some type of memory file system scheme. My experience has been that a fast hard drive will drastically increase the scanning performance. And as mentioned earlier, clamdscan.
Thanks

I don't know if you can even buy slow drives anymore, but yes, this is a very important consideration, and not just for scanners - my mailers have lots of SCSI disks and mail queues, un-mirrored. A ram-disk would be very nice for the scanner, that is for sure. If this is affordable then certainly a private net and gigabit NIC are nice touches, too.
But just breaking the scanning process away from the mailer process machine is a big improvement, and affordable.
