Alex….Alex….Alex… I'm afraid my freind that you don't understand the concept of the Render Garden/Farm/Jungle at all.<g> That's like saying I got one 360 Windsor in my 72 Merc Broughm Stock Car, Now if I go out and buy 4 more 360 Windsor's….. Get it??? I'll Post the description again: For those who wish to achieve the productivity improvements provided by 3DS' ability to distribute rendering activity across a network, without having to purchase numerous PC, wrestle with setting up a network, resolve network/operating system compatability problems, figure out what to do with the extra PC's, or coordinate their shared use — Render Garden/Farm/Jungle provides the solution in uniquely engineered box inclusive of all the hardware and software necessary to plug and play. IT REALLY WORKS and the productivity gains are REAL. AM Labs is an animation shop company that is part of a larger company (DC Systems, Inc.) that had the hardware/software engineering expertise to develop this product for us. It was initially built to meet our need for a faster and cheaper rendering capability without having deal with the problems listed above. We use it and it did solve our problems. We are now providing it to others. Still working out pricing details however we anticipate entry level price will be approximately $20,000 (5 486 66mhz system with 2.5 GB HD). For more information call and details about the product call. Mr. Matt Armstrong Vice President, AM Labs (214) 960-7915 Your going to have to talk to Matt about this. All I can say right now is that the difference between going to gateway and buying 5 pc's networking them with Lantastic or Novell and trying to get the kind of functionality and speed the Render Garden gives you is about the same as chaining 5 VW Beatles together to get more performance instead of purchasing a Lambroghini for what you'd pay for one Ford Escort. <BG> All I can Say is if anyone is really serious about animation work and needs to compete with the big boys….this is his or her answer! I've spent 5 days watching this machine do it's magic and at the risk of sounding redundent I'd like to repeat what Dick Couron said.."IT REALLY WORKS and the productivity gains are REAL! Murph'
