asterisk users - Apr 2007 - Recommended hardware

Still finding my feet here.  I need a server which can take approx 100 sip
users accessing 24 channels through pri.  Approx 20 concurrent calls.  6000
calls a month.  Are there any "rules of thumb" when it comes to sizing
hardware.  I've checked the wiki but nothing close to what I need plus some
of the information is really old now and may not be relevant.  Also, what
server platform ( rackmount) would you recommend that work with Digium
cards  (IBM, COMPAQ) ??  Anyone have any recommendations please.

I've read Digium cards work ok with PCI-X.  Anybody used this
configuration?

Any feedback greatly appreciated.

I like the IBM X306.
