Are you totally certain you can't solve your problem with a single server solution?

How about:
Price out a 4 way Opteron 4u rackmount server with 64 bit linux, stuffed with hard drives (like 40) set up in a complex raid configuration (multiple raid controllers) allowing you (with tablespaces) to divide up your database.

You can drop in dual core opterons at some later point for an easy upgrade. Let's say this server costs 20k$...are you sure this will not be enough to handle your load?
