I like this idea: one downside though is when using C4D, Vray, Modo, or apps that can offload processes to other local machines, I think the latency would make it inefficient over the cloud for most purposes.

Yup.

I doubt we'll ever have in-house rendering machines again. I haven't tried Hackentoshing OS X onto another hypervisor layer, though :-)

I think Tim is talking about cloud rendering, either home-rolled or via services like Zync:

The Mac Pro base price is higher than it was, but keep in mind that the iMac has been pushed considerably higher spec than it used to be, so the Mac Pro had to up-spec as well to avoid too much overlap. My main gripe with it so far is 1GB Ethernet only. I might buy one, but at this stage, the biggest threat to Apple/OS X is probably EC2.
