Once people become active, loyal and promotional (spreading the word), you will be dealing with exponential variables which you won't be able to predict.

The first thing you will need to do to have that server keep up is add RAM. I don't know your hard drive specs but that is a close second, if not first, to the RAM.

One other thing.... You may have that T-1 for office use but if you actually are paying for one of those lines to use for hosting ditch it quick. Once your site becomes active you will want a lot more redundancy than any single T line can give you. You should look into either leased dedicated or colo'ing your server.

This all may be a bit off for you but should you progress quickly, it is better to lease a server from a data center that has multiple carriers, backup batteries, generators and tech's to deal with equipment.

Hardest work is to build content and membership... The rest will follow if you are serious and dedicated to making it happen. Don't spend to much on promotions right now.
