renderboxx farms

[Blitterswitch]

I actually feel physically sick looking at those buckets.

I was pretty chuffed having been able to convince the company to sort me out an 8 core render farm using our old render workstations (2x dual-dual core opteron 2.0ghzs) and replacing them with new workstations based on the q6600!

How on earth do you even start to convince your company to buy this kind of kit!?!?

'those new boxx farms are quite nice'
'yeah, ive been thinking about getting some'

3 months later...

Helps to be at a pure viz place with a boss who used to do as much legwork as any of us do now.

Hi im lucky enough to own the company... hopefully by the end of the year we should have 70 nodes, a mix of dual's and quads...

I want to cry

Can I have your old ones? haha

I am fighting to get a new decent photo printer at the moment as well, went for a demo yesterday for an HP Z2100 (circa £2k). I work for a company which is fundamentally a commercial catering design house and I am the only dedicated visualiser, obviously this causes issues with how the company views its financial priorities!

I think I am doing alright though and it can only get better!
