You can, though depending on what you're doing you still need a distributed
filesystem (like GFS) on top of that.

On the extreme low end you can also do dual-attached Firewire or SCSI
drives. There's a nice "how to play with RAC on Linux" floating around that
mostly covers setting it up for a test cluster using shared Firewire, for
example.
