Blender as an open source project has from my experience in comparison to Cinema4D a situation similar to GIMP and Adobe Photoshop. The commercial equivalent is more polished and often times more clearly documented. Even though equivalent functionality is buried in the open source alternative.
I had heard that GPU rendering was anywhare from 5-50X faster, maybe even 100x with two cards in SLI, that's why i asked, he may be able to render a few larger-resolution animations with that, is what i suspected.

What graphics cards did you get?
We got two GTX550s from the andymark deal and if we needed to, we could run both in our desktop in SLI configuration to get a boost.
