Has anyone had experience with developing a distributed system as a grid?

By grid, I mean, a distributed system where all nodes are identical and there is no central management, database etc.

How can the grid achieve even distribution of: CPU, Memory, Disk, Bandwidth etc.?

What you're actually talking about is a cluster. There is a lot of software available for load balancing etc, even specific linux distros such as Rocks, which comes complete with MPI/PVM and monitoring tools built in.
