Video cards are only used to process what is on the screen of that system, so if you aren't playing on that server a very small card that meets the requirements of the OS is all you need. You can get by with almost any processor above a high end Pentium 3, but Pentium 4's are better. RAM will determine how many zones you can have open at a time, so more is always better. Another thing I always suggest... hard drive! go with at least a 7200 rpm SATA drive.
I run a P4 3.2 with 4 gigs of Ram. I run an onboard video card to help with reducing heat, and keeping power needs down as well as fewer moving parts to break.
