The most common setup for two or more computers to share resources is what is known as a "Beowulf cluster." Beowulf clusters are a collection of computers running Linux, and sometimes Solaris and FreeBSD, networked together, with one computer serving as the "main" workstation. Several Linux distributions exist to set up a Beowulf cluster. Some are as easy as booting the computer from a LiveCD, and selecting whether you want it to be the main terminal, or simply another node.
