How about a rack ;) Not to hark on particular hardware/OS type stuff as
you hear from many so let me suggest you should consider having a means to
test "over the internet". This can be a dial-up shell account that you use
to test your network. You might laugh but some of the cleanest tests I have
ever seen have been done that way.

I also recommend a decent NAS to store your server ghosts or virtual
machines preferably at gigabit speeds.
