Development environment for Oracle RAC

Hi there,

I was wondering what folks here use as their base hardware for an development environment that includes a Oracle RAC database backend.

Here's my setting: development is supposed to start in March and will be done in house. Production and reference environment will be colocated somewhere else (close to the client's clients). Setup of the Oracle environment should be finished by end of February and number one priority is the price at this point in time. Cheap is good ;)

A two-node RAC would do it for starters so this http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/hunter_rac10gr2_iscsi.html   seems to cut it.

What about an inexpensive NAS filer as the shared storage solution?

Thanks in advance!
