Dear Chris,
We have been happy with a 4-CPU-core 32/64-bit Opteron Linux system with
32 GB RAM.
Even with Matlab 6 (32-bit), simultaneously, multiple SPMs run very fast.
I suggest:
http://www.sun.com/servers/x64/x4600/
http://www.sun.com/servers/entry/x4200/
and for a RAID system:

or a Linux system with a hardware RAID card

Cheers,
