I am considering building a pc just for my CW cards, I now have 2 x Pulsar 1, 2 x Pulsar 2, 1 x Scope SRB.
I am however not sure if it's possible to put all these cards in one machine and connect them via the cables ....
Then I would like to use FX Teleport if it is possible, networking it with my main computer which now I could have 3 UAD-1's and 2 TC Powercore 01, outputting sound thru the Motu 828 mk II.
I feel this would be a great setup.
I am not sure if it is possible though ....
Anyone tried similar setup?

FX Teleport and SFP via V-STACK on a dedicated machine?
I thought that FX Teleport would let you use computers in a network use VST/VSTI's over network.
I thought one had to have a VST host on the other machines in the network to do this.

So if I thought of using a dedicated PC for this purpose (hosting all my creamware cards), giving me access to the xtc plugs from my main computer.
That is what I hoped to accomplish....
.... and the other machines doesn't need a soundcard! I need just the plugins and the instruments over TCP/IP.

I'm using Nuendo.
But I would like to use V-STACK on the other networked machine that is running all the CW cards I mentioned, in XTC mode.
It's so I can take the load off the Nuendo machine, and just mix on this, because then I can use all the 3 UAD-1's, and the 2 TC Powercore 01's in that machine.
I basically want to record the synths after the arranging is finished.

I had thought you were intending to use V-stack on the 2nd pc. There's 2 issues here...One is V-stack and the other is FX Teleport. You're going to have to decide which suits your needs better and choose one.
Why? Well Fx Teleport is a separate entity from V-stack entirely. What it does is load the main driver on your main (Nuendo) DAW, and then each 'networked' pc that has the client driver installed is available to pitch in cpu power. You do NOT need to install *anything else* other than the fx teleport driver on the client pc's (the 2nd machine). All you do is load up fx teleport on your main DAW in the insert slot, then load your effect inside of that and the plugin magically moves the execution of the code onto the networked machines.
V-stack is a different sort of beast. It is a VST host for processing instruments and effects. It can be used entirely standalone with just an audio card and midi port even though Steinberg makes it seem as if it only works via adat connected to a main PC using Nuendo or Sx.
However using it standalone without the adat 'SystemLink' connection you will need some way to get the signals into the main 'mix'. When you do activate systemlink (using an adat card to connect both machines) then you are given much more flexibility, and everything is compensated for in terms of latency so you should in theory have sample accurate sync. to what you see in your arrange page.
Adding a UAD-1 or Powercore to the Fx-Teleport system would mean you would use them in your main DAW just as anyone else does. If you opt to use V-stack you will still need to install install the extra DSP cards in the your main DAW, as I don't beleive V-stack includes the PDC (plugin delay compensation) that seamlessly handles the latency that dsp-based VST effects and instruments introduce. The 2nd machine would again just be a software machine only but this time running v-stack with its own effects and instruments installed locally. How you connect V-stack to your main DAW is up to you...
