Rocks may work too. http://www.rocksclusters.org/wordpress/

I just want to connect them all together somehow without any
special hadware and increece thier proscing pow and also would i need a master computer? i think i also want to do SMP

You can't exactly hook them up like a conventional smp processor. Normal clusters are made for very specific tasks and use programs that are not for common users. The old Cray systems had a unique cable that basically attached system backplanes. X86 systems never had that.

Never mind I found a guide on how to do it via ethernert cables via beowulf
