   Can I build a very high end machine that would act as the server, then connect a few other pcs to it over the network and use the highend machine as a processing machine for the less power machines?
   Like, this would work like how an eGPU works, you have a less powerful device, you connect it to this really powerful machine either over usb-c or ethernet and draw power from that.
   
   lets say it's 10 years from now and I can code and model and etc and I have a setup like that, could I program a game to work with something like that?

   So you want to power your devices from one?

   OP wants to program a game with this setup in 10 years.
   
   Let's help him set it up.

   I want to build like a really high powered (several times above the standard of a high end vr rig, more like a server a corporation would use) server that will link to other computers that can draw power from it.
   I want to build some very intensive VR applications that can draw power from multiple cpus and gpus, so I could link multiple machines together to create one very powerful rig (think Serial Experiments Lain).
   inb4 I download some biology pdfs and create a BCI headset that actually works

    I’m pretty sure that’s how every online game works

    No the servers don't render the game processes and 3D graphics
