Interesting. I wonder what the speed would be compared to rendering it on my
machine (AMD Sempron 3000), and what the end cost would be? Also, I'm not sure
I could figure out how to set it up. You would need to select an operating
system, install POV-Ray and so on. One of the Linux options would be most cost
effective, but I've never used Linux before.

I wonder if someone could set up an account and then charge other users (via
Paypal, maybe?) to render scenes?
