I only have 5 very slow (266-1598mhz) computers (6 if you count an ancient Mac - but it's not on the link).

"Bue Sky Studios who recently made Ice Age 2, upgraded their systems. They built a renderfarm that has a thousand (1,000) 2.4 Ghz cpu's. "

I'd settle for 10 3.9 ghz.

Right now I'm moving all my Bryce stuff to a 900 mhz P2 so that When I'm rendering a Bryce scene in the future I will be able to  use my main computer for other things. It will take 1.7 times longer to render on the old 900 but whatcha gonna do. At least I'll feel free to start Brycing again. 

As you might well imagine  from the slow speeds I listed I can't even concieve of a decent render in Bryce taking only 13 hours even at 800x600. 

Wow and double wow. even if those computers only cost only 500  buckazoids a piece that's a half a mill . . .. Why I could live the rest of my life on that. Also even using wireless connections I'm betting that the network routing of that many computers would make even Greg Maddox cringe.( A few years back he did the sound system for Fresberg's County Courthouse).

(Thunder and lighning strike in background - no really ;we're having another storm)

Hmm I wonder what they're gonna do with all those computers when they are done???
