Thanks Analog-X!  I have been following your threads about your render farm closely. I'm a graph sort of person, like to see a collection of numbers put into a graph. To help visualize I would need to graph the data I've collected. Still researching everything.

I'm getting involved with clustering, and a Bryce render farm would just be an extension of my efforts with clustering. There's other reasons why I want to get into a cluster, all business related. But in short, there's other uses for all the power that gets into a render farm. But in terms of Bryce, there's a lot of work that needs to get done, and I'm interested not only doing the service but also the programming and stuff that goes into making such a service work.

The idea to contact DAZ is a good one I'll probably do within the week or two. Those other farms are interesting, especially that they support more than one software package.

Need more research, need more testing, need more benchmarks.
