Anybody have experience with Xgrid for OSX
on reading the blurb it sounds amazing, three machines and no waiting for your machine to free up during render or large file saving, it is done in the background while you carry on modeling etc

There is a thread at the SkecthUp forum that has been talking about this. Not much came form the thread but this. Check this renderfarm in a box made of minis.

thanks jake, cool rig

I dont suppose anyone is using Xgrid for 3d yet
I can imagine it being very usefull I assume you only need one seat of various software with the other computer becoming a multi processor system
benifiting from there own hardrive so not tying you up saving
