Juan: I have a 5 node cluster of G4 Xserves and am planning on adding at least 8 more g5 nodes to it. I don't know what your plans for the cluster are but I have had a great experience in putting it together. I am a scientist and not an IT person and I went from boxes to a working cluster in about 6 hours, by myself. Additionally I am administrating the server myself as well. Mike Michael D.
