It is not recommended that you actually combine all of these
components together.  But you can.  You will need to make sure that
you don't have any port conflicts, that if you are going to put your
CSG and Nfuse site on the same server that you configure CSG to
listen on another port.

The STA doesn't need to be anything powerful, but it does need to be
secured.

The CSG doesn't produce much disk activity.  It's all CPU and RAM. 
The CSG just wraps and un-wraps SSL from the ICA packets, and
occasionally checks the ticket provided by the client during the
initial phase of the connection.

You do want to provide a good quality of service to your users, so I
would put as much RAM in (up to 512MB-1GB, as anything over this for
the amount of users you are supporting would be an over-kill).  One
CPU could be enough, but if at all possible, use two.

What type of hardware are you looking at using?  (give all specs if
possible)

I've begun looking into getting CSG setup and need to know from some
people using it in the realworld how much I could skip on server
hardware and how much I could combine servers.

Environment would have a maximum of 25 concurrent connections, with
the likely of over 10 concurrent connections being very low.

Manual indicated you need your NFuse server, MF server, STA server,
and a CSG server.

NFuse and CSG sit in the DMZ, so could these be ran on 1 server? 
Manual recommends 256megs of RAM.  I this a minimum you want to use? 
What kind of speed would this machine need processor wise?  How much
disk access is involved?

The STA and MF servers sit on the secure side, so could you double
your MF server as an STA server?
