Any x86 machine currently in production could do 10x that load.  A single
Xeon under 2GHz would be showing nearly zero load for that.

Reliability and load aren't really related.  You could buy something like a
refurb HP server with SCSI drives and dual power for next to nothing and
see excellent reliability.  We have dozens of DL360/380 machines in
production with excellent reliability.  My reliability items are:

SCSI drives (small, but reliable)
RAID 1
Redundant power
Lots of fans
Server class hardware from a quality vendor
