And here's a challenge at the other end of the spectrum.

What's the lowest cost, simplest, closest to off the shelf way to 
build a small network file server that can do DHCP/PXE booting, etc. 
for a compact low power cluster.  Something like a LinkSys NSLU-2 
(<$100 but you need to add a USB disk, and load a new version of the 
OS that has dhcpd and tftpd) could probably do it, but it would be 
nice to have an integrated solution.
