asterisk users - Nov 2007 - Board configuration - specification or recommendation

Hello,

We're about to deploy an Asterisk system.
So far we have the following (below) configuration
but before we start anything we would like to hear some
suggestions on it, specification or recommendation too...

Thank you!

miniITX board
dual core CPU
2 LAN
1x IDE (or more)
2x SATA (or more)
2x PCI slots (must work with Linux correctly in regards to IRQs)

Optional:
On board hardware RAID
miniPCI
CF slot
IPMI interface

To determine what you are going to need, you'll want to start by discussing
what you plan to do with the system, including capacity (e.g. number of
users/extensions, types of calls, etc.).   I'd suggest some research,
starting with the following resources which have a lot of good background,
theory, as well as real-world experiences from other users:

  http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+dimensioning
  http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+hardware+recommendations
  http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+hardware#PCServerMotherboards

There are also off-the-shelf appliance style solutions or you can build your
own:
