Setting up an Asterisk

I was curious if anyone could give me some information on what i need to setup a home based Asterisk system? I assuming i need a VOIP card, and likely some other hardware, but could someone run me down what is best to use for a home based system, which will at most have 10 phones on it at any given time?

I was planning on running a Dell 9020
I7 2.8GHZ
16GB DDR3 1600MHZ
4TB 7200 Red WD Sata3
3 open slots for PCIe
1 PCI

Linux Networking IP Telephony Telecommunications Dell

Ruh,
Do you know where i can download a decent soft phone application to install virtually?
I am basically just trying to learn the software.. I really have no reason for it, just interested in getting it running..

Not exactly sure what you mean by "install virtually."

For Linux, you can try Yate, Linphone, Twinkle, and SFLphone.
For Windows there is Bria x-Lite and Zoiper.
For Mac, there is Blink.
For Android csipsimple and Zoiper.
For iOS, Linphone and Zoiper.

There are others of course too but these listed should meet your needs for testing for now.
