I remember a podcast with Scott Hansleman when they just used 1 server (an still served tons of req/s). I think it was this one: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/HanselminutesPodcast134StackOverflowUsesASPNETMVCJeffAtwoodAndHisTechnicalTeam.aspx http://www.hanselman.com/blog/HanselminutesPodcast134StackOv... If I recall correctly Hansleman was quite impressed with the performance they could get from just the one server.

At the PDC conference 2008 Jeff Atwood RDP'd into the live production webserver that was Stackoverflow as a guest speaker in the presentation by Phil Haack on the then-new ASP.NET MVC framework, see http://channel9.msdn.com/blogs/pdc2008/pc21 http://channel9.msdn.com/blogs/pdc2008/pc21 ca 49:40 into the presentation.
