  What would be nice is if we could combine the ability for a CGI
application to serve as a frontend for a distributed rendering 'farm'
that individuals could submit their machines to be part of in order to
access.  Perhaps a small client utility that would login to the backend
and accept rendering jobs, and in exchange for doing this, you would have
access to the entire distributed 'farm'..

  Not sure if I'm wording this well, but basically a system such as what
you are saying, but with a more open backend that anyone could 'hook'
into.
