Dell server with:

Four 7200rpm 500GB SATA drives to be placed in a RAID 5 array
Windows Server 2012 Standard
One Intel Xeon 1.8GHz quad core processor
24G of RAM

$2,427.15

Windows Server 2012 Essentials for a maximum of 25 users:
$517

Exchange 2013 with 10 CALS:
$1246.90

5 Terminal Server CALS:
$639.99

GRAND TOTAL: $4831.04

This is less than what clients were paying for SBS 2003 Standard and a Terminal Server a few years back.

NOTE: No CALS are required for Windows Server 2012 Standard

NOTE: Windows Server 2012 Essentials counts as its own virtual license. Exchange Server would take up one virtual license. Windows Server 2012 Standard comes with two virtual licenses so that would be one remaining. That would be your Terminal Server installation.
