Hardware options for compact micro cluster?

[MimCom]

I'm working on a deployment for which redundancy and uptime are more important than processing power (existing testbed runs just fine on a quad-core i5 with 8 gigs of RAM.) Is there anything out there which would allow a 3-4 machine cluster to be built in a single chassis with fencing hardware onboard? I'm imagining a physical configuration similar to a Supermicro 2U Twin2 or some other micro-blade chassis but I've not been keeping track of the hardware race for some time.

thanks~

Hi,
I don't have experiences with this: http://www.asus.com/us/Commercial_Servers_Workstations/RS726QE7RS12/
but it's looks not bad (and I like asus much much more than supermicro ;-) )

I just bought one, and it came with 6 Hard drive caddies. I ordered 12 just in case, but to my surprise...
