What do you want your server farm to do is probably the most important question we could ask you. There are many ways to hook up a server farm, but weather you want to share processing power or data are 2 different things.

If you want to share cpu power you will need to set up a cluster and you will need cluster software.

final cut studio has qmaster in it, that allows you to use other macs as a cluster when using any of the final cut studio apps.
