Quick Update + New Rendering PC #4

Hello all! I ran into some major issues with my 3rd rendering PC today.... I was attempting to convert my fluid simulation machine into a rendering machine... long story short, it wasn't working out very well. SO, I returned the graphics cards I bought for it and I ordered a whole new PC.

The good news is, this will ensure rendering *hopefully*  wont really be an issue with future animations either =)

SO for those who are curious, here is the setup for the NEW PC I just bought today (I wish I could have waited until the 3080 TI's came out but I had to get this now, otherwise Centaur Things would experience a massive delay):
