This image is a test render of how my computer works now that it is
directly under an AC unit...   previously i couldn't make any images
that ran for over 10 minutes without shutting down the computer so it
can cool off.   I'm in the process of building a better one but it's no
where near finished...  This image took 3 hours to completely render. 50
torii, over 3 million photons, a subdivided cube from the beta version
of moray (IT'S FANTASTIC LUTZ!!!), and one point light.

The Photon settings i know don't look quite right, but I am still
playing with them to get the right effect i am looking for.

sorry about the image size but anything smaller looks like crap.

Anything below 100 KB is perfectly fine, nothing to worry about.

You definitely have some serious photon artifacts there. I'm not sure what's
causing that. Definitely fiddle with the settings.
