If I wanted to put together a cheap RAC for "play" purposes what sort of HW/SW would I need? I'm not talking about a production-level solution here, just taking some older-HW I might have laying around and turning it into a RAC with a minimal investment for sandbox purposes.

Could I do it with 2+ Sun boxes w/ Solaris 8 (or 2+ Intel boxes w/ Linux), some sort of shared SCSI array (A1000 or JBOD) and standard 100 Mb ethernet? Is this enough or do I need to spend $$$$? (gigabit ethernet, fibre channel SAN, Veritas, etc)
