For doing long animations you can eat your heart out at the Internet Movie
Project. I myself have rendered animations there and it's very powerful.

Ooh, that looks interesting!
Now all I need is a parallel processing version of POV and lots of PCs...

Hmm. just had a thought.. There is a program called Synergy out that lets
you control two networked machines with the same keyboard and mouse.
There is an article on TechTV about it at:
http://www.techtv.com/screensavers/downloadoftheday/story/0,24330,3647418
,00.html
This might actually make managing two or more machines easier. It runs on
both Windows and Linux. Haven't tried it myself, but then I haven't got
anything networked to try it with. It definitely looked interesting
though.

Well, you should prefer "http://openmosix.sourceforge.net/"...
