For about $200, you could setup the semblance of the beginning of a render farm - http://www.surpluscomputers.com/348525/rackable-systems-dual-xeon-2.66ghz.html.  For about $450, you would probably have a very good start.

Need a server that can handle all you can throw at it? Here's the server for you! With 2GB of memory & 100GB Hard Drive it can handle just about any applications including audio/ video! These servers are also half-depth to allow to servers to fit into the space of 1 normal size 2u server.

Actually I often wondered about theses systems but the overhead to keep pace with technology is offputting to say the least!

Yes.  But, seriously, these might be useful if someone has the time and money...and the proper TG2 license.  Never mind getting an i7 core; this is the fastest route.
