Pixel Plow is the cheapest rendering service for Blender 3D. Cheapest by far. And it is super-duper fast. Even at the slowest speed it is way faster than my fastest GPU accelerated machine.
Unless I put my i7 with Quadro4000 GPU in a place where electricity is "free"*, it's actually fairly inefficient for me.
Now in order to do that I'd certainly have to get Logmein Pro which is $250/year.
And all that brings me back to Pixel Plow.
They make it relatively easy to render with them. The frames come down to you automatically as they're created. And now that we're in 4K it makes a much bigger difference to get those frames done so that a fellow can get to actually finishing the dang movie (whichever movie that might be.)
So today I am pro Pixel Plow for big renders.
*The morality of such use is up for grabs but those places where one has/does pay a single rate for electric no matter what the use does/do exist.

I live in a place w/pay-one-price electricity. Hm...
Start making Doge Coin. I got two very heavy machines here which eat 200W extra just as soon as you start a GPU render. I'll sell 'em to ya cheap. You'll love 'em. One's a Power Mac 2005(?) It makes heat. Runs FCP like a mofo though.
