Another vote for Mosix.  My office workstation is currently a Mosix
cluster.  I got tired of my compiles bogging the CPU (made my MP3's
skip), so I grabbed a couple of spare machines and lashed them all
together with Mosix.  Now when I run a compile it runs on the unloaded
CPU's instead of the one with all my eye-candy on it.  Who needs XFCE? 
I just add nodes!  ;) Just make sure the other nodes are in the other
room, otherwise it gets a bit loud.  It will also keep you warm in
winter.
