It also depends on what you are trying to do.  Remember that your
applications must be written to support the cluster you choose to
deploy.  Many people think you can just take a common application and
then sent it into the cluster for computing.  It is not done like
that.  You write you app using some lib like MPI, but the problem is
always going to be sharing the data between hosts, which becomes
problematic with more machines.  You need to find a way to slice your
computing application nicely so that the tasks can be broken down into
very small pieces to be computed.

If you have no idea how to do this, check out the docs for
ClusterKnoppix or OpenMosix, which will give you a silly cluster, but
something you can play with immediately...
