Alright, after my previous post I decided away from the Mac Mini approach.

Found some Optiplex 7050’s for sale for like $90 a piece. Want to snag 3 but any advice for what Switch to get for similar or lower price?

Check on the deals for the switch, it might be some especially on the upcoming Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Also, you would need shared storage for the cluster. For the common OS, the best option for 2-3 nodes is starwinds vsan, it also doesn't require witness node for 2-node configuration, so you might save some bucks on it. It has minimal hardware requirements so, just put the drives and you are in.
