have you seen this?

its a couple of years old now, and I'd prob do it now something like the
2600. or i guess more of them with a cheaper chip. but that it a good cpu
for the price
the other option you can go is something like a 4p opteron system with
either 32 or 48 cores. if you get the base cpu they work out quite well
price/performance. though you would need a fast storage to feed it. and you
probably would want to make a bunch of virtual machines out of it.
I'm not sure which hugin would prefer but your work load is probably more
suited to more low end nodes.
here's a list cpu's value/performance

how much ram is it using?
and have you tried running muiltiple renders on your 6 core amd?
my first thought is your transfer speed may become a bottleneck.
my thought would be to get an intel 2600 enough ram to cover 8 jobs at
once and an ssd that good at multitreaded read.
though it may run faster to disable hyperthreading and just run 4 jobs at
once.

Have a look at Xbox (and maybe PS3 - not sure if these still let you run
Linux) clusters. Lots of people are going to be building clusters using
Raspberry Pi's when they go on sale hopefully later this month (700Mhz
ARM/Linux machines for ~$25). Whether or not you get the performance you're
after, it'd be a fun project putting something like that together. I have
quite a lot of experience with Sun Grid Engine on very large/expensive
compute clusters and Hugin jobs run fine.

It is time to reveal a few more facts to allow for better judgment.
Each image set is 13.2 MB per panorama only.
Stitching, blending, cubing and tiling needs 8.5 seconds altogether on a
6 core AMD PC for USD 750.
What I am looking for is to build a cluster from many cheap boards and
CPUs, that provides a better performance per Dollar.
Not a fast PC on a budget.
Something like 10 boards of 150 USD each that provide 6 times the
performance, bust just cost twice.
Is there really nobody whom runs a rendering farm?
