At NCSU we are using Rocks (http://rockclusters.org). We have switched from using Scyld because of there slow release cycle (they only had a install based on 6.2 for three years), there lack of errata, there interpretation of the GPL (ie. we don't have to give you anything for 3 years), etc. Rock is working much better for us and seems to have more development and developers behind it to keep it going.
I am in the process of buying a small 16 node cluster from dell. Dell was able to offer me better pricing than penguin, but I think that is because its end of quarter for dell and they are despaired for business, at least from the educational sector. I did take quotes from penguin and there per node price was less, however there price on peripherals wasn't nearly as good as dells.
