does anyone have one of these things for Premiere Pro CS4 and if so, how does one set up a Render Farm and what benefits can you get from it for encoding etc.?
Furthermore, someone was suggesting that you get one system to work on and the other to actually render so your workstation is not tied up, what are some good techniques to ensure this process can go smoothly without having to transfer the hard disk to the rendering system especially if there is more that needs to be done to another project on that same drive?

No one has created software to allow network rendering in Premiere as far as I know. Network renders are also usually based on Tiff/ targa sequences, etc., so no audio, not something many Premiere users make use of.
The only way I can think of this working is if you imported the Premiere timelines into After Effects and use the After Effects Net renderer.
But given the usually short render times in Premiere, it would be hardly worth the time to make it work.

[mikkell khan]"if there is more that needs to be done to another project on that same drive?" If you are going to use two machines and try to alternate, have enough swappable drives where you can keep projects separated so they are not on the same drive at the same time.
