I am interest to buy a render farm. Because my brain is not good enough to build my own render farm. I want to buy it.
For example was thinking for this
https://www.boxxtech.com/products/rendering-and-simulation/renderfarm-on-wheels [boxxtech.com]

Money is not the problem. Just i want to have good render farm for rendering simulation, steps how to connect with the pc and how to set up.

Any help?

the thing is that intel will release this year the xeon phi as a socket system you even can run windows server on it! so the possibility of running cpu renders on it should be very high. more infos on: http://www.theplatform.net/2015/03/25/more-knights-landing-xeon-phi-secrets-unveiled/ [theplatform.net]
