Multiple cheap MS-based computers with volume licensing could probably
do the job.
- One computer to do authorization;
- One or more Web servers;

"Load ballance" and shut down idle computers to save on electricity
bills. No need in expensive Xeon 80W quad cores  and VelociRaptor
setups in my opinion.
