farming out a render?

Hi people

Anyone had any experience of paying for LW renders? damn client wants 5
times as many frames as i got time to render and it would be just AWESOME if
i could send someone my scene and get the frames back! its just clutching at
straws at this point, bit of a maybe. If anyone uses any company and could
recommend, it would be good. Be worth benchmarking them anyway to find out
ballpark costs.

I really should try get my head round screamernet tooo, but its just too
much. getting brainoverload as it is. it just dont make any sense to me at
all.

ps. can i use screamernet on mac's? theres about 30 G5's at work just
sitting doing nothing all night every night..be cool to harness em (when i
get me head around SN!)

cheers
Iain
