New Exchnage Box Advice

[nsanto17]

We are currently thinking on bringing exchange in house. We have currently 120 users and want each qutoa to be 5 GIG. The heavy hitters with email will all come in via RPC over HTTPS. I would have about 65 users directly connected to exchange. about 25 users RPC over HTTPS. the rest will come in via OWA.

This box will only be running exchange and nothing else.

I will have all my mail routed though postini for my spam/antivirus filtering. The load from SPAM and AV Filtering will not be an issue as Postini will take care of that for me. I will be sending my mail out through a seperate provider that will filter any emails with any sort of personal information.

Can anyone recomend a server config for me with best practices.

Thanks in advance.

If you look at the specs I supplied in your other post, that should be sufficient. You haven't supplied anything here that would change that.
