[luau] LTSP hardware

I was wondering if anyone could make a suggestion for hardware for a LTSP server that could, without slowdowns support 60
simultaneous clients that would be able to run mozilla, star/open office apps, gimp, perhaps ximian evolution and, of course, a
popular desktop envronment like gnome or kde (all at the same time).
Approximately how much memory should it need?
What kind of CPU(s)?
Perhaps someone could suggest a ready server product from ibm or compaq or alike?
Also, do graphic apps (such as the Gimp) and presentation software create a lot of network traffic when used on a thin client?

Thanks
