Installing SQL 2012 BI on a server with Exchange 2010

I would like to create a new SBS-type network ... and I know that SBS2011 is dead, so I am looking at moving into the new Server 2012 world.  I understand that Server 2012 Essentials has some really nice management and remote-access capabilities.

I definitely want to install Exchange 2010 on-premises and I know that it cannot be installed on Server 2012 Essentials, so I will have to deploy a second server running Server 2012 Standard.  Not thrilled, but I can live with that (I miss SBS already).

I am also interested in installing SQL Server 2012 BI because I understand my POS (Point-Of-Sale) vendor should release a new SQL-based option in 2013 and I want to anticipate that and be ready. 

I should have 15-17 users on this network without heavy use - mostly file + print sharing along with Exchange-based email.  I do understand that Exchange takes up a lot of RAM, which is potentially a conflict with SQL Server, but I can put 8-12GB into each box.  (Each box has two dual-core 2GHz AMD cpu's.)

So, my questions are:

    • Where should I best install SQL2012 BI? 
    • Can Exchange 2010 and SQL 2012 BI live on the same box?  If so, are there any tuning/install recommendations?

    As you can see, I'm a newbie to the 2012 world and I appreciate any advice / pointers you can give.

    Thanks!
