I think I might buy a server farm

In case you don't know what a Server Farm is:
It's a bunch of servers (100+) linked together to form what is referred to in layman's terms as a supercomputer. While most don't support high end graphics hardware, some, known as rendering farms, do. Such supercomputers are used to render scenes in movies, such as the newer Star Wars movies.
Imagine, if you will...
100+ CPU cores
16+ SLI configured nVidia GeForce 8 / QuadroFX 5600 / Quadro FX 4600 GPUs
100+ Gigabytes of Memory
100+ Terabytes of Storage
Now imagine playing your PC games on that sucker...
