Basic advice is to get a CPU with lots of cores (4 is good) and hardware virtualisation support*, as well as lots of RAM (8GB is quite affordable these days). You might also want to consider RAID if you'll be doing lots of writes. Linux has a good software RAID infrastructure. Stay away from the cheap fake RAID that you find integrated on motherboards. * Look carefully - a lot of chips don't have it.
