Hi buddyboy!
That's an interesting question! Smile

Here are my ideas regarding hardware:
Workstations: processor i7, Quadro FX 5600, >12 GB ram, dual 24 inch monitors, or one 30 inch monitor, wacom intuos or CINTIQ for artists that need them.

Render Farm: processor i7, onboard video, >12 gb ram

I think that tesla and Quadro FX 5600 is too much for a workstation.
It is better to invest in good artists.
