I agree 100%. A 1 Meg file wouldn't be "too much hassle" either really.
I have the same computer, less the PII and 128 Megs RAM (it's still a
233MHz).
That 17 and a half hours might be as little as a couple hours. So I'm
offering also. I understand though, your real problem is in those long
test renders that everyone probably suffers from; meaning a whole lot of
emails back and forth. That I may not be able to offer help with since I
would only be free to do a few of these at most without interference to
my regular routine.
Let's keep looking for that web site offering POV-Ray rendering (fee or
free).
