If you're 1280x960 render is going to take a month, how will you have time 
to render it for an appropriate poster size? (assuming you hope to win)

I'm not even close to the "tweaking" period yet, when I start touching up 
all of the textures, making objects less square, etc.  I'm hoping to get 
some more done on my models/objects in the next week.  I'd like to have it 
fairly complete by Sept 15, which should leave ample time for rendering and 
tweaking.  The way it's looking now, if I get it to render at around 5pps, 
I'll be happy.  Personally, I'd be worried about any render that takes more 
than a week (at 1280x960), especially since you also have to produce the 
detail views at that same size.

Good luck to you.  I'm looking forward to seeing some really nice renders in 
a couple months.  :-D
