If you're buying new hardware, pretty much anything has enough CPU to handle the reader side; the spamfiltering and virus scanning will be more CPU- intensive. Dual-3GHz Xeon's with 2GB of RAM? Your normal candidates, Dell, HP, IBM, all have reasonably similar models (PowerEdge 28x0, HP DL370/380, etc) which will do just fine for this sort of thing.
I'd go for an Opteron system, they have a lot more (3-4 times)
I/O than Xeon systems and they're cooler.

Yes, this is entirely reasonable advice; the Opteron platform is a good choice as well.
