Do some reading on http://www.sql-server-performance.com . They have several articles on this exact thing.

Off teh top of my head you want to look at Disk queue length, User connections, Pages / second, CPU utilization. Remember, with SQL server the most important things in order are Disk, RAM, and CPU.
