I can't say as I would have any recommendations on hardware, or for that matter if the gigabit drivers are stable (although I have heard they are working from somebody around the University here), but we are running a Debian "Beowolf-like" system with 11 233 Mhz Pentium IIs. I say Beowolf like since we didn't use any Beowolf code but we have MPI, PVM, NAG F90, etc, etc running on the cluster. One of our mission goals is to provide benchmarks of this system, but they are still ongoing. I would be interested in talking with folks who have tried or are thinking of trying this in the future.
