I was reading some other stuff and ran across some articles on building your own render farm for graphics using old machines. Now this is certainly not something I am an epert in, or even familiar with, but I thought a few of you might at least enjoy the reading. Someone might even make some use of it and make some really cool videos/animations for a mod or something.
