Full working farm

The farm is now connected with all 31 lab computers and is running at full bore 24-7. Very few errors are being experienced, however, some of the lab computers, such as 20 and 29, simply refuse to work on select projects. With those exceptions the Farm is still able to produce hundreds of renders per hour which is astronomically faster than before. Each computer averages between 4-15min per rendered frame depending on if the computer is in use by a student or not. With the new found ability to produce so many images in such a short period of time students can now create entirely fully rendered video walk-throughs, realistic sun studies, and hi-def renders in ridiculously short periods of time. The system is also fully expandable to as many more computers as the school would like to add.
