Hmmmmmmm
Im not really sure that any server could run 10 servers at once, however im not 100% sure on this.
As for your basic setup:
Net speed: 10meg+ up/maybe down
CPU: Quad core or above (subject to SCDS using 4 cores?)
RAM: Anything above 4 gig.... 8 if you can.
Cooler: Always have decent cooling, but aslong as their is airflow sufficiant to hardware then it won't matter what you got.
OC..... ummm not really, would cause more issues then you need.
Power/PSU: all depends on the hardware you get.
I would price this at around $2000 - $4000 depending where you are and how much hardware is.
It is prob easier to hire out some rack space and buy a normal server.

I think he is just telling you the parts you need. Have you considered building the computer yourself?

It is not hard to build a computer to handle HLDS server hosting....
CPU: Intel C2D or Quad
Mobo: Anything that supports the above CPU and RAM to 8 GIG (Important) and also Gigabit LAN
RAM: Decent quality 8 gigs of ram.
Gfx: Prob onboard includeded on mobo usually...
HD: Anything decent over 80gigs....(Costs more the less you go so up to your wallet $$$)
Case: If its going into a datacentre you want something with very good airflow, however any case will do, just mod it to suit airflow such as adding lots of 120mm fans, however ensure you are running them in a flow path and not against each other.
PSU: Anything over 400watts, or that will support cpu/mobo/hd runnning all together.
Where do you live? I might be able to source you a company to help you buy a custom build PC for what your after.
You got any more info on how your hosting the website?
