Nope.

You just need a machine running some variant of unix (like linux).
CPU or RAM is no big issue; an old pentium 200 with 128mb ram would go
a long way. Bandwidth is the biggest limitation (and the most
expensive one to fix).

Take a look at http://www.freechess.org/mrtg/bandwidth.html and
compare it to how many users are online.
