Shopping for a new server and need suggestions

I'm looking to get off shared hosting and buy a server to house all my stuff but I don't know what I need.

I have 1 site that gets about 10-14k/day of traffic, burns about 100 gigs a month and runs the germesia script which from what I understand uses up a lot of cpu power.

I also want to add a chatroom to that site and I want the chatroom to be able to handle 100 simultaneous users.

I have another site that burns about 600 gigs a month and is growing and has no scipts on it.

I have a few other small sites that dont burn through much at all.

So how powerful of a server do I need to handle this?
I know 0 about hardware so I can't just build it myself, I'm shopping on ebay and on pricewatch, I just dont know what to look for. I know I want a huge harddrive, but that's about it.

No I'm not looking for a new host.

Thanks for any suggestions
