We use the cheapest dell 1U rackmount server we could find running 
LVS-DR.  It's a 2.0ghz celeron with 512mb (free upgrade!), the cheapest 
IDE hdd, and no additional options.  We average about 2mbit out and 
300kbit in (about 300 pps).  When we need redundancy with the load 
balancers, we'll buy another similar system.
