Yes, several of the big boys do the image processing for money. The software maker themselves do it as well. We asked them about doing a job we finished flying today. They quoted $6,000 for the processing. That told us we have a budget of six grand to buy computers. Well not quite, we "rent" the extra "seats" per CPU for $450 per CPU. We can get a 30 day lease on 4 more seats to add to the one we have now and throw all that at the project and it will be done in 12 days. We bought the last computer for just over 700 bucks. That will bring us up the the 5 CPUs needed to do it in two weeks, or less. And we will have one more computer to keep.
That huge job will require that we buy 5 more computers, and add those to the 5 we have. And then we can get it done a couple of weeks. (In theory) and that assumes everything runs perfect, all the time and no issues.
