Heh... intel != high-end. But I think what you've got is really overkill. You've spec'd a server that's capable of pushing far more bandwidth than you can afford, even doing heavy database and dynamic pages. Almost everyone makes the same mistake when they start their own company. The first thing you do is go out and buy pens/shirts/business cards with your logo on them, and a server that's 10 times as powerful as is needed. If you want to stay in business start with what you need. Grab a home-grown P-200MHz with 128MB. Remember, you're not using NT so you don't need a state-of-the-art machine to get decent performance :) When your company grows just grow the machine with it. There's no business sense in having a machine that cost you an arm and a leg just sit idle for 99.9% of the time picking it's nose.
