If your budget is less than $10K, don't even bother to try to set up a
fault-tolerant cluster; you're better off spending more on a
high-quality single machine with RAID-1 or -10 disk config, hot spare
drive, and dual power supplies...and tape backup, most importantly.
Trying to implement a highly reliable cluster on cheap hardware is
almost certainly going to prove futile or even counterproductive. How
are you going to handle a split-horizon condition?
