20K?

Try 1/10th of that.

I'm running a low end Dell Poweredge server at my office that does
all the file/print/mail management tasks you would expect of Suse
for a network of 20 users.
And it runs windows virtual machine in a complete sandbox with 
one port nat-ed to the wooly interenet with Vmware Server.

The windows machine is to demo software to customers.
Its rock solid.

I didn't pay anywhere near 20k.
