I just ordred some new hardware for a build.

Motherboard:
Gigabyte GA-H87N-WIFI

CPU:
Core i5 I5-4570S 6 MB (Haswell)

HDD:
4x WD Red WD30EFRX 3 TB

Ram:
Crucial Ballistix Sport 2x8GB 16GB - Low profile

CPU Cooler:
Noctua NH-L9i

Case:
NSC-400

Maybe overkill?

Going to run the following:

Samba4(File, PDC, Shares)
DNS
DHCP
Gateway(Firewall)
OpenVPN(Client and site-to-site)
Proxy(DNS caching and Proxy cahcing, file and sites)
VoIP
Mail(POP3,IMAP, SMTP and Webmail)
Jabber
Thin Clients

Arround 50-60 clients are going to be joined to the Domain using all the features.

Will those clients all be thin clients?
Then your setup looks a bit low on redundancy (and maybe low on RAM)

I know a lot of theoretical 'advices' are available and 'rules of thumb' for sizing LTSP configurations. IMO those 'rules of thumb' never come close to the real use of memory, especially when all users have multiple tabs open in Firefox and several documents open in Libreoffice and reading PDF's at the same time.

The only way of reducing memory usage is having fat clients where memory applications like Firefox are installed on the client or inside the chroot.

Not all Thin clients, maybe 5-6 of them.
