Lach, That box has plenty of power for that application, even if you did transcoding on the calls.
As a quick test I ran 4 concurrent calls (ulaw no transcoding but all go through asterisk with directmedia=no) and a simultaneous speed test of my 36M / 4M internet pipe... "top" showed 97% idle. The Jetway JBC373F38W will give you a lot of headroom for the future. Something to consider, a SSD SATA drive may not be necessary for your storage needs, also consider the SLC based flash with either CF or mSATA ... Emphase 4000X Industrial CompactFlash Card 4 GB http://www.logicsupply.com/products/cf4000xi4g Western Digital SiliconDrive A100 4GB mSATA SLC http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820250064 Every time AstLinux boots it does a fsck to ensure a clean file system, unnecessarily oversizing the SSD will add extra time to the boot process. Also usually with MLC flash. Of course if you need 32GB - 64GB of storage, then a SSD SATA drive is a good choice. My 2 cents.
