As much ram as you can reasonably afford and fast, and large, disk. The number of cores doesn't really play as much of a roll in a normal mirror as those two factors do.
I was thinking 32G RAM and maybe 600G (2x300G) in RAID0. I figure I need the spindles and read speed more than I need redundancy; I can always just re-mirror the content.
If you have it, throwing a 3rd 300G drive at this and doing raid5 is probably cheap and easy enough.
