i built our companys almost 3 weeks ago so my method was i got intel i7 920 for about 200usd plus x58 mobo for 180 usd with a1gb ram for 40usd 80gb sata for 25usd and thermal take for 30usd it all cost 500usd per node
I have 20 nodes setup.
as for my render manager i use backburner(2008) its a really difficult tool kit to setup but totally worth it once you get it up and running

hope that helps oh and be prepared for some insane electric bills (keep it intel, amd is usually frowned upon when building render farms)
