Re: are render farms merely a dream?
I always render on my home computers.

Primary:
Athlon64 X2 3.00GHz
4GB DDR2
combined 1.3TB HDD space
18" CRT

Secondary:
Athlon64 2.00GHz
1GB DDR
250GB HDD
15" CRT (Dying unfortuantly)

If your schools have a CAD lab or somethign of the like you might consider using Network Rendering on those PC's to get animations done a lot faster. I have never used 3dsMax's NetRender Nodes but Lightwave 3D's network Rendering system is absolutly amazing.

-Just my .2 cents
