^^^^^^^^^^^
If you're building a new server to serve 50 clients using LTSP, than for
sure, you'll need more RAM on the server-side:
> CPU I5-2400 3y warranty
> MB asus p8z68-v lx 3y
> RAM 4GB LT
^^^^^
I'd suggest at least 32GB.

Regarding DISKs, all depends from what you need in terms of storage. 500GBs
sounds reasonable (unless you plan to build a multimedia jukebox!).
Graphic card are quite useless, for an LTSP server. So the onboard one is OK.
Another _very_critical_ component is the ethernet Adapter: Gigabit Ethernet
is mandatory both on the server (better if with two different NIC "bonded")
and on the switches (you'll need at least a couple of good GigaEthernet
switches).
I'm heavily using X-applications via SSH-Forwarding between two linux hosts
and... I can note the difference between the two scenarios: hosts connected
at 100Mbps and same hosts connected at 1Gbps.
Hope this help.
Bye,
DV
