Use RenderCows for rendering with a networked group of computers, one RenderCow per computer (including the master workstation).  Because I have both an 11.5 license and a 2014 license, each of my computers has an 11.5 RenderCow and a 2014 RenderCow installed.  I would only have one or the other running at any given time on each computer.   This way, I can use my other computers to help either Galadriel (11.5 license) or Cameron (2014 license).  Cameron has an extra cow pack license, so she can use ten total cows.  With your license, you can jack four other computers into the same router with your workstation and use all five to help render tough projects.

     To add muscle to my network, I bought used/refurbed machines.  I bought two HP xw6600 (Eir & Kara) which have dual Xeon quad core processors (not HyperThreaded, though).  That is, two processors in each machine.  That adds a lot of rendering threads, eight per machine, and they were $420 each machine.  Now I have two Dell C1100 PowerEdge server blades with dual HyperThreaded hex-core Xeons (Cortana & Terpsichore).  These cost $772 each (blade, Win7 license, and a HD), and they add 24 threads per machine.

     So at the moment, if I have a massive scene to render at huge dimensions, I have Cameron network it out:

• Cameron     dual H/T hex Xeons     24 cores
• Cortana      dual H/T hex Xeons     24 cores
• Terpsichore dual H/T hex Xeons     24 cores
• Eir               dual quad Xeons           8 cores
• Kara            dual quad Xeons           8 cores
• Galadriel      core i7 H/T quad           8 cores
• Phoenix        quad core                    4 cores
• Firebird        H/T dual core                4 cores
• Pixie             dual core                      2 cores
• Valkyrie        dual core                      2 cores

     Cameron can bring 108 cores to bear on a render!  If Galadriel is functioning as the master, she can use the top five, and use 88 cores.

     With multiple networked cores, you can absolutely destroy a tough render, rip through it in a fraction of the time it would take a single machine to finish.

     So, put those older computers you have sitting on the shelf to work!  Use that five-cow license which came with Vue Complete and get renders done faster.
