That's a nice system, but expensive. For other teams that don't have allot of cash, N'vidia has a driver download on their web site that allows some rendering software to use the massive floating power in today's video cards. I don't know if it supports the work station cards or just the direct X gaming cards. Check their web site out for the details. Ati may have released something similar by now. Check out Newegg. The n'vidia 7600gt has dropped to the 150$. This could be a good way for teams to speed up their rendering without spending thousands.
