I want clustering for parallel processing.
From your description it seems that you require just nfs / samba for file sharing. DHCP and NFSboot for diskless booting and a proxy / firewall / mailserver for the internet. If you use local resources of the clients and stagger booting you can get away with puny servers. Look at drbl on sourceforge.
I have done thinclient setup with using LTSP4.2. I have given detail info in my previous post.

They have 50 client computers on one server. All clients are diskless. Server has FC4.

That is used for stuff like fluid dynamics, protein folding, graphics rendering etc.
