Is this a common sentiment?  Where I am working now they have a Mac render farm, using 'Deadline' software.  In fairness I've been using AE for almost 15 years and I'd never seen an After Effects render farm until a year ago.

When you get the farm to yourself it's pretty magic - yesterday I had a huge project being simultaneously rendered across 50 processes (just under 20 Macs rendering two or three processes each).  Something that might take a few days to render on one machine can be ready in a few minutes.

If this is something that people are interested in then I can do a short video about using Deadline for an After Effects render farm and put it up on the ProVideo Coalition...
