This was just discussed recently on the inet list.  From what
I gathered, you would need a system more like this:

Pentium II 400Mhz, 1GB ram, SCSI Ultra controller and around
50GB of drive space. Obviously, the better the hardware you
can afford will help.  A Raid array would also be good. ;)

And that's this month.  News is still growing.

(we outsource our news because of this, and besides..., it's
a pita.;)

Outsourcing is the "only" way to do news, in my opinion. Two years ago I seriously thought about going into the news outsourcing business. I'm glad I didn't. The bandwidth costs are tremendous. Even with skycache, you'd need a backup feed.
