Setting up a renderfarm with my computers! · 8:53pm Feb 6th, 2019
More specifically, my daily driver PC and my secondary workstation PC that I restored after picking it up from a thrift store.
4K Blender Renders coming soon! (and maybe an animation in the future?)
GO JUNKSTORE COMPUTERS!!! (They're more capable than everyone thinks). I commend you, fellow techie.

My secondary workstation is a quad-core Dell system I picked up for $15 from a thrift store.
It's the primary rendering node on my farm.

I used Windows Memphis through 2016. It was with a stupidly done setup, laptop turned into a desktop.

Heh.

New stuff is cool, but leaving that thing on actually helped me get to sleep at night. Probably the fans.

Yeah. I personally find the sound of keyboard typing relaxing. Not so much cooling fans, but that may just be due to the ones I have having a high-pitched whine and a slight rattle.
