Well you're looking at running one copy of wow per account, so you want 24 accounts? thats 24 Serial numbers for Classic, Burning Crusade, Lich King, and Cataclysm.
For the computer, I'm sure a decent i7 2600k unlocked hyperthreaded processor might do, but I'd look at the i7 990 Processor series. Then get yourself at least 24 Gig of ram. Video you probably want to soup it up with at least two SLI Nvidia Card with 1.5 Gig at least per card. 2 Gig would be better. Go for a card that has a processor of at least 900+ MHz too. Get an SSD Drive too for the wow install and OS install.
Now you don't necessarily need more than one computer to run this either. Its not like it used to be with computers and running copies of wow. You can run over 100 copies of wow on the best system if you wanted to and still have tea and crumpets in orgrimmar, stormwind, or the like. Now thats more copies a sane person would want to run however, so I'd start with your 24 that you want to do and be comforted knowing one PC is more than enough. I gather however, you want to have more than just 4 monitors for this. Perhaps you want one monitor per PC. well then you want to have 6 computers then with dual SLI graphics cards and then you can save money by getting an NVIDIA GTS 550 range, a i7 2600k processor, and about 16gig ram on each computer would do the trick too. Still run the SSD drive cause its the better way to go.
As for network, depends what kind of connection you have, a regular broadband provider would be more than enough to support even 24 copies of wow running on the internet. I have a connection speed of 25mbps on an optic connection, and even most providers provide 10mbps on their super connection through cable companies. This is again, more than enough to run that. I don't think wow uses alot of bandwidth but i'm sure you'll notice it when you're in a heavy populated city when doing a city raid.
