Okay, so you want to harness its processing powers and its hard drive capacity.

Well, I think you may be able to do something like that with PCAnywhere or some other equivalent software.

If you use Windows on both PCs, you could easily control the other using a Visual Basic program and a serial null cable. I can help you with this if you want, seems like it would be a fun project.

What exactly do you want to do with the other PC? The more complicated the task, the more data that needs to pass between the two PCs, and the slower both PCs will go. Also, you should know that CPUs do not tend to like to divide up a task between the two of them unless it is a dual-processor system or a hyper-threading processor.
