Hi: I have been doing 3D animation for sometime using 3d studio max, running under windows. As the renders get more complicated, my boxes obviously aren't enough, what would be a cheap solution for buying servers for rendering? I have about USD $ 8000 to spend. I was thinking maybe 2 Dell servers with dual Intel Xeons each. Anybody has any experience using other 3D progs like Maya? Maybe it would be an option to migrate everything to Maya running under Linux (cheap) or Sun or SGI ($$$$). Any opinions are welcome.


Thanks
