This has already been discussed before
(Can't find the link right now though, sure I'd saved it)

I would'nt worry about disk space its just EQemu & Mysql installation prob not more than 30Mb in total

What you do need to be thinking about though is the nodes connection to the internet as a requirement (No less than a 24/7 512Kbs connection, on a stable router, those USB modems suffer from high latency, due to the heavy load placed on the host system).

And of course MySQL database replication is the really tricky bit, it's not simply a case of setting all your nodes as slaves to the master, and expecting it to work, they just don't replicate quickly enough. As soon as you zone between to different machines your character will revert to a previously saved. I tried it and thats the problem I was unable to overcome anyway.
