I would suggest goging for SBS2003 as well the top range version runs full windows server 2003 full exchange comes with sharepoint services runs full ISA the lot...

Do not use a shuttle PC.. you want the biggest tower you can get away with this machine will be running at 24/7/365 and needs decent cooling to allow the components to last well..

For cheapness dell servers are good value. it is well owrth going for branded compenents as there can be a lot more hardware issues with server software, and getting good support from the machine manufacturer is very important.

A word of warning.. this is more serious computing, if they plan to use this server to run there business I would think seriously about getting involved if you dont feel confident in any way shape or form about configuring and on going administration....
