totally recomend SBS2003..it is active directory..this offers uncountable extra security and functionality.
NT does not offer plug n play or Active directory etc etc. and i supsect is no longer fully supported by microsoft.

hp/dell etc with xeon 3.0g+ CPU (1 or 2 cpu's depending on buget) and 2 gig+ of ram. running SBS 2003
if you going to run exchange ETC you should have 2 physical raids one mirrored say 50_gig for the OS and the other raid 5 200_gig+ for files and exchange Data bases ETC
and you need some means to back it up LTO tape drive ETC and backup software such as retrospect/back exec.
have a look on the HP site at thier proliant range. OR Dell if you want a ready system with the OS installed.
