What space and resources does a TF2 server take up?

I am thinking about getting a dedicated server for Team Fortress 2.
* What space size does all of the TF2 server files take?
* How much bandwidth will TF2 servers usually require per month?
* How much is a slot in terms of actual resources?

The files are a few gigs (that's without custom maps).  I don't have the exact size, but a 30GB drive will do fine.
When renting servers, you generally get about 2000GB a month.  You should have at least a 10mbit upload and a static IP address.
As for hardware, ram isn't too vital but at least 1GB of ram should be fine (depending on the OS, of course).  CPU is VERY impotent.  For a 24-man server, you need either a P4 running at 3.0GHz or a Core2Duo or Core2Quad running at 2.4GHz or higher.  Since SRCDS can't run on multiple cores at a time, something like a 1.6 dual-core wont do you much good.  Also Intel is best.

Also check out the srcds.com forums.

Maybe yours is.

Mooga makes good points, but for anything above 24 man servers, I'd say 2GB RAM is safer for Windows. A lightweight Linux distro could totally jam with 1 GB. The total filesize for the TF2 dedicated server is 1.15 GB, as a base amount.

When renting servers, you generally get about 2000GB a month.

But, how much bandwidth will the typical 24 slot server take up? What will a typical player slot take up in terms of actual resources?

By the way thank you both for the reply.

Double edit: Nvm, I have no clue.

Could anyone research this? Maybe someone could look at our server usage and see what the usual throughput is?
