For a basic installation of Asterisk, a Dell 4XX server is good enough.
Unless you need a really big monster (hundreds of concurrent calls and
such).

the OS and everything should fit nicely in 10GB. Maybe 20GB, if you have 
lots of other things. In short: no worries here.

1 GB interface should be good enough for around 16,000 concurrent g711 
calls, in theory. I don't think that this is your bottleneck. In most 
cases even a 100MB NIC would work just as well without being a bottleneck.
