3DMAX/Vray renderfarm test

Hi there. Inspiration for this thread came from the two stickied in this forum. I came across an online site https://www.ranchcomputing.com/en/features/speed-benchmark which has a commercial renderfarm, with their own benchmark files free for download. They include their time, and estimations of other rigs for comparison. I would like to offer my results, specs, and hope others with powerful renderfarms will contribute to the thread and post their time and specs as well. It would be wise not to attempt this test unless you have a sufficiently powerful farm available, or you have the curiousity & farm-time to spare... Please use Network Rendering with defaults in the max file. Thank You!
