i have random computers scattered across my house. Would it not also be possible to somehow share a CPU over the network, and have some utility to assign certain processes to a network CPU and have other ones run on the CPU?

Say I wanted to encode a video. That normally takes up most of my Processor. But, if I could tell windows to use the CPU of another computer on my network, I could encode the video and do a whole bunch of other things at the same time. Essentially giving myself a dual-core system.

Is this possible?
 
If you use AVISynth, TCPDeliver is what you're looking for, if you want to run filters on one computer and encode on another. But you might need to have a hell of a fast network.
 
Are you running windows or linux..... If you are running linux I use DVD::Rip and this has a cluster mode that is very easy to use.... I have a cluster of 15 computers in my home that uses this to rip/encode video..... works like a charm
