If anybody is familiar with network rendering with Vegas Pro v8.0
could you give some basic info to get started?

questions
1) would I be better off using 8 Pentium 4 2.8 HT towers in a render farm
2) or is it better to use a Dual Xeon P4 3.2 HT to send the render job to?

This is for amateur work at home (daughter is wannabe popstar plus I like playing with my home movies)
The render jobs arent time critical
I just dont want them hogging my tower

I think I am better off using the Dual Xeon as a headless unit under the desk

if somebody could give a basic tutorial on setting that up
I would appreciate
does the rendering tower need Vegas installed also?
could it be headless unit?
I have a kvm switch and two displays so it isnt a big deal if it cant be headless

thanks in advance

Nevermind
I spent until 7am studying tutorial
and waa able to setup a renderer and did
two succesful render jobs
Pretty awesome
Now I have to figure a way to make the render machine headless
under my desk

or funny will get a best answer if it matters to you :)
