I would probably stop now, you don't have anywhere near enough computing power, and people won't want to wait days for there render to finish.
You have one computer but 147GB of ram? You know thats impossible right?
Its nice you want to help people but its just not viable, one dual core processor and I guess a standard internet connection, what do you do if 2 people want to render large stills? I could send you a still right now that will take about 4 days on my quad core, so it will take longer on your computer, that 2nd person might be waiting 4/5 days just to get there render started, people pay for render services normally when they need things quickly.
Also what about the people with Vue 6 Infinite, you won't be able to render any of there stuff if they use Vue 6 Infinite only features.
If you are thinking about starting a render service, go to the bank, get a loan and buy servers or lots of computers, get a decent business class internet connection, get some render server control software and then take a shot at it.
Like I said nice idea but its flawed in many many ways.
