There is, kind of, a way to do this. But it'd be difficult to setup and more expensive than just buying a few hard drives.
For example, if the no-HD machines have a CD-ROM drive, you could use a LINUX boot CD to create a terminal which could then access the machine with the HD. It wouldn't be Windows, but there might be some use. For example, you could setup the HD-machine as a Citrix server and then put the Citrix client on your Linux boot CD (I do believe there is a Linux Citrix client).

Yes you can do this just fine, super easy way, just virutalize it. You can use either use virtual pc from microsoft or vmware server or workstation from Vmware. Just make sure that your computer has the resources behind it to run them all at once, i.e. ram, processor and hard drive space.

I don't think this is possible. Windows cannot be booted across a network.

This is not possible. You can not turn a computer into a bootless terminal.
