As Jake said though, ram is key. 512M runs nicely. Much more than that is
overkill for a small standalone toaster.

What toaster version are you guys using? This one (a cent5) would eat 512 megs of RAM alive. At times it'll spike up to 560 or so, but it usually uses 520-530.

Cheap machine; 512M of RAM (shared with video), Intel Celeron 2.6Ghz, 80G Seagate PATA drive.

~150 users, moderate to low message load (total messages around 325,000 per month, spam making it through RBLs included). All the extra spam/clam rules from the QTP package, plus a bunch more (didn't think I'd put ALL my goodies in QTP did ya? <grin>) That filters out 85-90% of the 325,000 leaving legit messages. Most of the machine's load is wasted on spam, but for the clients on this server it's needed.

Also runs 10 or so low traffic web sites.
Runs on Cent 4.6 - Cent5 would eat more of the resources than necessary in my opinion. Cent 4.x is supported until February 29th, 2012 so I'm not worried about failing to get updates for a while.
