Quote - Has anyone tried the amazon cloud, to render faster with?

 

Several months back I did some pretty extensive testing with amazon cloud.  The free services render about as fast as my laptop does.  Going up the paid service scale, it doesn't start becoming worthwhile until you're using the multiple gpu instance.  All in all, after I figured out what it would cost me, I could build a completely new rendering box after about a month of using the multiple gpu instances.  Doable if you're rendering on your company's dime; but prohibitively expensive if you're paying out of your own pockets.
