It is definitely possible to mix fat and thin clients. I've got a client with two 'fat' video processing linux workstations (PCs) and several other 'thin' workstations (older PCs). You may need to set up extra services to provide LAN file sharing etc. The fat clients are going to need more client/server style while currently with thin client, everything is running on one box I guess?
