are you planning on starting your own site or something? i could only imagine that they have a fleet of servers to handle the workload.

We have:
-three webservers, each with Dual Xeon 2.8GHz/2GB memory/73GB SCSI HDD
-two database servers, both with Dual Xeon 2.8GHz/4GB memory/73GB SCSI
-one ad server (Dual Xeon 2.8/4GB/73GB SCSI)
-one download server (P4 2.4/1GB/80GB IDE)
-one image server (Dual Xeon 2.8/2GB/73GB SCSI)
All interconnected to each other via second NIC and our own switch. All running RHES3, webservers running Apache and BlueDragon, db servers running MySQL. Currently no serious plans to increase the number of boxes, although we're looking for variety of load balancing/failover solutions to determine which would suit best for our needs to load-balance the webservers in more sophisticated way.

As virtually all of the world's websites operate, we do not own our servers, we use an ISP and pay rent for the servers, bandwidth, certain level of support and so on. Our ISP is called ThePlanet, which is one of the largest ISPs in the world, focusing on dedicated servers. We get decent discount due the relatively large amount of hardware we have, but yes, they do cost quite a lot of money, so when deciding to use ad blockers when visiting our site, think twice :-)
@sui-cyco: We'd actually prefer to have quad Opterons for our database servers, but our ISP doesn't have them available, at least yet. Our good olde db servers tend to hit load levels of 4.00 or more during peak times..

As said, servers are owned by are located at our hosting provider's facilities, where they have three or four backbone Net connections connecting their server facility (which contains thousands of servers). And yes, server rooms are extremely well air conditioned, power supplies are typically backed up by diesel generators, etc (some details: http://www.theplanet.com/facilities/index.html).

Most of the servers (actually 7) are Dell PowerEdge 1800 servers
http://www1.la.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/pedg...
ie. 5U rack servers, so they take 35U of rack space. Our download server is hosted at another location, and is a 2.4GHz Celeron with 80G+200G IDE HDDs. The others have a 73GB Ultra320 drives in various configurations.
The image server Petteri mentioned earlier handles also log processing and analysing, log archiving, backups, DNS, load balancing and a number of other, smaller tasks.
