If that Poweredge is reasonably well spec'ed, I wouldn't worry about running web and email off it at the same time. The metal's not going to be the limiting factor.
Bear in mind, one great big email attachment will gum up your pipe for as long as it takes to get through. Of course, that'll mostly be coming the 8mb/s direction, which helps. I predict that with more than 10 or so simultaneous users, this thing will get noticeably slow. But that's still PLENTY of accessibility for a total web audience of 100. Probably no more than a couple will hit it at a time, right?
