Um, how about using a single PC to replace the farm of amigas?

Well, in my opinion single PC + lightwave would be
a) faster
b) cheaper
c) more energy efficient
d) more uptodate (better software, tools etc)
than render-farm of 20 Amigas.

If you have the skills to actually make money from your renders then the PC would be much more sensible investment.

Frankly, amiga is not very suitable for render farms, and in particular these days when a single PC can easily beat 20 amiga render farm. Just trying to give some sound advice here.
