I can't comment from experience of Sun kit but if thats the sort of spec you unix guys routinely use for apps to service 30 concurrent users no wonder Windows and linux are gaining in popularity. If you were pushing the boat out you might spend 20-30k on hardware for 30 concurrent users in the Win2k/Com+ world.

in short it seems a generous spec to me. But I am genuinely interested to see what others think, as most folk here know i'm pretty much a windows guy.
