This still isn't very helpful. How big are the docs? How many fields do you expect to index? What is your expected query rate?
You can get away with an old laptop if your docs are, say, 5K each and you only expect to query it once a day and have one text field. If each doc is 10M, you're indexing 250 fields and your expected query rate is 100/sec, you need some serious hardware. But 400K docs isn't very big by SOLR standards in terms of the number of docs. What I'd really recommend is that you just take an existing machine, create an index on it and measure. Be aware that the first few queries will be much slower than subsequent queries, so throw out the first few queries from your timings.
