I would have thought you would need a huge database to store all the data like oracle and several dedicated servers.
It can cost a fortune..

Depends on how big you want to go, but we are working towards 250 million pages indexed and i have 2 xeon servers with 2 terrabytes a piece, and going on 11 query servers distributing the index/query load plus i average about 15-25mpbs when spidering
