For the range of 20Mbit I would use a cluster of 3 fairly normal boxes
with 4 harddrives each (ATA or SCSI). Memory scaled according to cache
size.

2 boxes actaually would handle the load fine, and it may even be
possible to build a single high end box which can handle the load, but
having 3 smaller boxes gives better performance and increased
flexibility (you can take one box offline for upgrade/maintenance while
still maintaining the full service level).
