"Folding" Machines

[AKA_RA]

I've got this crazy idea in my head. Recently I've been getting into folding. If you dont know what folding is I suggest you go to HardFolding.com and start folding for the greatest team out there. Anyways I'm thinking of purchasing a lot of motherboards/cpus on ebay and setting them up to fold all day long, as long as i can afford my electric bill but i need to find an alternitive way to boot these computers, preferably across a network, instead of installing a HDD for each one. Anyone know how I would go about doing this. I usually know what im doing when it comes to computers, but networking is one area i lack knowledge in. Any help would be great.

An option to harddrives, is USB keys. Depending on the OS of choice, you could pick up a decent sized USB key pretty cheap and boot from that.

If you know how to use a ris server, you could do a network boot. Pc's can be setup as dumb clients to a proverbial server.
