The real reason I need to set up this farm  is, I use other apps like - photoshop, painter, etc  - but when my one powerful pc gets locked up for (many) hours during a render, I can't get anything else done.  And now that I'm rendering in my actual print size, the files are getting pretty large.   I think my little farm  is gonna work fine with just 3 dual core machines, I don't think (for now) I'll need anything bigger - also I can't afford anything else - lol 
Oh well,  a little at a time. 

Incase anyone is interested, this was a pretty good article, just for it's general information on render farms - I'm not going to have a farm like he's showing, but it was interesting reading :
