Check the page at Meta which I recently updated, in particular the newly minted FAQ: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dumps/FAQ#How_big_are_the_en_wikipedia_dumps_uncompressed.3F I can't give a good estimate of the space needed for MySQL though; enabling compressed tables for the text table might help, or compressing some of the text revisions and storing them with the mediawiki compressed flag would surely make a difference. We're only talking about the data, not the media files here.
