It's certainly an option, but my I.T. guys are all about Dell & their mystical warranties & certified parts list. I'd love to buy all the parts and piece something together myself, but in an I.T. managed environment, I'm not sure it's a road they're willing to travel. But, if someone has a nice parts list for a dedicated render node build for around $2,000, they might be open to discussing it. Buying a VRay node license at that point is easy. I'd still have to decide if I'd focus on CPU or GPU. I'm leaning towards GPU.

in my opinon renderfarms are too expensive and ruin sales and budgets. Better off render internally and have a longer deadline.
Ofc if you only have a couple of cpus its a no brainer, but 10 or more you can actually do stuff in house.Comment
