(Part 1 of 2) This tutorial shows how to build a render farm at home using old computers and a few new graphics cards. This video has lots of detailed discussion about PC hardware and which Graphics Cards to pick for Rendering. Then, I explain how to install Windows 10 Pro to use for render nodes.

Please ask questions if needed so I can help and we can learn more from each other.
