each one has its own needs and goals I guess, but if you say it might 
help, I'll never say no for sharing :P
I have 3 dells under my desk, I compile the engine a lot and its heavy 
for my laptop. So I clone my local working directory and build it on the 
strongest mini-dell using local jenkins server 
(http://www.ovirt.org/Local_Jenkins_For_The_People). The other 2 I use 
as hypervisor when needed. provision them is done by me manually :/.. 
cobbler pxe boot could help with already defined image..  Other then 
that, I have nfs mount for storage and few vms for compilation and small 
tests

sorry I can't help with your curiosity .. my env quite simple
