[Asterisk-Users] hardware details

I'd say you'd need at least a Quad Pentium 4 Xeon 3.2ghz server. 4gb of RAM
and a Raid 5 array with 5 120gb 10,000 rpm SCSI drives. Check ibm.com for
it.

:-)

Just Kidding. Seriously though, 8 extensions isn't much. When you say "trunk
lines" though, do you mean 2 Voice T1/PRI's? Each with 23 phone lines?
That's 46 phone lines for 8 extensions. Maybe I'm misreading it, it is 5am
here. 

For only 8 extensions, the server can be as simple as a P3 500mhz, w/ 512mb
of RAM and a 20gb hard drive. Make sure linux is cleanly installed and only
needed services are loaded. You can get this system off of PriceWatch.com or
something. The analog conversion can be done by 4 Sipura SPA-2000's, or
SPA-2100's if you need router capabilities. 

I personally use Dell PowerEdge rack mount servers, like the 1650 or the
1750 models. I also use Gentoo Linux, my understanding is BKW (a well-know
asterisk contributor) uses a similar setup.
