>>Didn't they say that a single standalone machine took 30+ hours and
their composite machine took around 30 minutes?
Nope. I used the 30 hour figure for a hypothetical comparison between a
486/66, the 5 processor Render Garden, and 5 networked Pentium 90's. The figure
they quoted in there original post was something like a 4 hour rendering taking
39 minutes, not a 30 hour rendering. This is a pretty respectable speed up, but
it isn't worth $20k, IMO. (not when the same money will get me hardware to
render the same scene in 15 minutes <g>)
