I use to run my CQC server and my SageTV server on the same P4 3.0 ghz machine. It had no problems running CQC or recording the TV shows (I used another device for the playback - the P4 could not handle HD playback). There are people running the CQC server on low power fanless machines. It really doesn't take much.
I would say any dual core machine should work. If you want something with low power consumption, then even a lower power processor will work. But a dual core will leave you the flexability to run just about anything (like the datalogger driver and SQL database) or connect as many devices as you would ever need.
If you spend more than $500 I'd say you spent too much ;-)
