On the same note. In trying to be minimal and keep the costs low.
Any recommendations on what to get for cpu's, motherboards, etc
for,

a. cpu/auth server
b. file server
c. terminal

I guess the cpu/auth server can get by being "headless":
not requiring a monitor, video card. No HDD is needed,
either.

The file server, same as above except requiring a HDD.

The terminal, just cpu, video card.

Does it make a difference what cpu is used in each
of the above? Can you get by with a cheap cpu in the terminal
and file server and spend more on the cpu server? Is
that a good strategy?
