you need a cluster OS, such as ROCKs linux or something like that. There are also cluster programs available. Small hard drives for each PC, you can do a network boot if the PC will boot from the network, or boot from a thumb drive if the mother board will boot from a USB device. A switch with enough ports to plug up all the PCs to. 1 PC to act as the "master station", this is the only PC that needs a monitor, keyboard, and mouse after everything is setup. And a good bit of time to set it all up.
EDIT: here you go http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_cluster
