Not sure if you are looking at DIY or commercial options but this has
been done well on a commercial scale by at least some integrators.
I've never used them in a cluster but they make great virtualization
platforms.
This is just one example, the marketing term is "1U Twin Server"
http://www.siliconmechanics.com/c1159/1u-twin-servers.php
Other vendors have various other options and the range of "dedicated" vs
"shared" resources among the twin and quad server configurations can
vary quite a bit. There is a good chance someone is already making a box
with the specs you are interested in.

Subject: [Beowulf] New member, upgrading our existing Beowulf cluster
Greetings!
I'm a new member to this list, but the research group that I work for has had a
working cluster for many years. I am now looking at upgrading our current
configuration. I was wondering if anyone has actual experience with running
more than one node from a single power supply. Even just two boards on one PSU
would be nice. We will be using barely 200W per node for 50 nodes and it just
seems like a big waste to buy 50 power supply units. I have read the old posts
but did not see any reports of success.
Best regards,
Ross Tucker
