I use a MacPro. Sadly it has only a 256GB drive in it and 12GB ram. I'm able to make and run 3 low-end Macs for testing. I ordered an external hard drive and more ram so that should help me once it comes in.
To plan for your needs, think about how many Macs you want to test with. And disk space depends on what you install. For me, my 256GB drive is pretty full after three machines with basic OSs and basic suite of apps + 1 snapshot. Perhaps budget 150GB per basic machine? And 6 or 8GB ram per machine? Ram is, of course, concurrently running machines.
And that depends on how many people will be using the server. Isn't it forbidden to run MacOSX as guest OS, if the host OS is not also MacOSX?
