How Can I Create A Cheap Cluster Server

[Nynuxus]

I would like to build a cheap cluster server so I can get some more experience with MSCS. Is it at all possible to have some sort of shared SCSI drive array on the cheap.

I use the compaq SAN hardware in work but need to build a cheap cluster system to do testing and delelopment work on.

Is there anything out there or does someone have a tip on building my own array and setting it up.

Thanks

VMWare - if you have a fast machine then you won't need any extra hardware.

You can create a single node cluster without shared storage for testing purposes. This can be done even on a desktop system. The only thing you have to do is add the -localquorum option while running the cluster setup from a command box.
