I have been trying to create a Blender Render Farm community. I am in the alpha stage right now , but i think i am ready to try it out with more people. Right now, i would say its for regular people, not professionals, who are interested in playing around a bit.

DramaKing: Just realized that the money I'd spend on electricity for the rendering computers is probably roughly in the $20 region as well….

DramaKing: $20 is expensive? Sorry, urm, but here, animated 3D projects, especially ones which require a renderfarm, *start* at $2000 *minimum*. I can really live with spending 1% of a project budget on rendering if it saves me a week of lost time and unwanted room heating…

On their Website, ResPower say that fluids can be rendered but can't be simulated. So, rendering is possible.

Does anyone know how render farms handle fluid sim files?

I have about 1 gig of BOBJ files that I'm trying to render on my puny system. Is it possible for render farms like ResPower to render them??
I imagine that you send them your .blend?

I haven't needed it until now, but be sure that I will use ResPower is I have a big project and a short deadline !

They are very cheap and allow a huge power. Their offers for Blender users is really a present !

BURP is still Alpha and your .blend will be spread on each BURP-Client.
So it's useless for customer-projects.
I will give ResPower a try but luckily i hadn't met sharp deadlines yet..
