According to my research, Poser 7 DOES have render farm capability. Might be off, but that's what I've found.

One of the big selling points of Poser Pro is the introduction of network rendering. Poser 7 (non pro version) does not have it. I've seen people call Poser Pro the new poser 7, or Poser 7.5. That may be a possible point of confusion.

Doesn't really sound like you need a whole render farm (which is several computers tied together to make one render or one animation). Sounds like you just need one additional computer with good graphics and a fast processor to do the renderings - quad core or better - while you're able to work in photoshop on another.

You can just network the two computers together, and also hook them up to a KVM switch which allows you to use one monitor, keyboard and mouse on two or three computers.

I used Netwoprk rendering setups in the past, with different applications (Max), and I find the network rendering a PITA to set up. Usually delegate it to IT people in the office, and even then there would be issues left and right. This is mostly because when I need to get something done, I hate having to stop and troubleshoot network issues.
