I am researching the benefits of a 8 node rendering cluster for a Holiday project. I am a new user to Maya and its rendering engine but will use linux (which I am quite familiar with) for the OS.
The cost for 8 X PIII 733mhz systems with 64MB RAM is $1200. So my question is, can you build a faster rendering machine/system for $1200, or is the 8 node cluster a project worth persuing.
Thanks for any input, still a few weeks before the holidays, so I have time to scrap this project if I get some good advice against it. Thanks for your time!
