We're looking into setting up an NCrunch node farm. This would be used by developer machines but it would also be used by the build server. When the build server goes to run tests, we'd like to have those test tasks take execution priority over test tasks coming from dev machines. Is this possible?

Hi,
Presently it isn't possible to control this. The grid nodes operate on a round-robin type request system that treats every connected client equally. The only way to ensure priority for the build server given NCrunch's current feature set would be to set aside nodes specifically for the server only.
It makes sense why you would want to give the build server priority. You're welcome to request this [dead link].

Got it, thanks. I posted the idea:
