It's variable, but I will say your hard drive setup is probably overkill. A pair of drives in RAID 1 would very likely be sufficient.

You will not get an exact number to this question as there are too many variables involved with each game.
Your best bet is to do some testing by setting up the game servers and filling them with differing amounts of players. This will give you a baseline to go by.
Also keep in mind that clients will most likely be adding plugins to their servers. Plugins will also increase both ram and CPU usage.
Gamers are very fickle people when it comes to performance of their server, and they also require a lot of technical support. So before you jump in head first make sure that you do some homework.
Good luck with your new business venture!www.tcadmin.com
