Was browsing eBay and found this: Supermicro SuperServer 6026TT HTRF 4 x Node Barebone 2U Server Trays | eBay
Pretty much a SuperMicro equivalent to the Dell C6100. Four sleds supporting dual X5500/X5600 CPUs, IPMI, dual Gigabit, etc, 12 LFF hotswaps (3/sled) and redundant 1400w PSUs. At $599 barebone its a bit pricey still but very similar. Given its SM parts list it may be much more readily "mod-able" that the Dells.
If the price comes down a bit it could be interesting.
