beowolf cluster vs Blade server?

[megadarkwood]

I have 4 identical Mini PCs and want to make a Cluster, but whats the difference between a blade server and a beowolf cluster?

By the look of it, a blade would be a lot more compact that a cluster.

Blades are more compact and are normally of enterprise grade components, a lot more compact and have generally better interface hardware. Of course they also come with a cost.
