ah, and just because I've forgotten to mention: the other "half" of the idea of yer so new great and shiny cloud computing is even older than the usage of fileservers.
Do the words "mainframe", and "dumb terminal" say something to you?
I honestly don't believe that the things you do are so number-crunching-intensive that the computing power of the machine(s) you own is insufficient for it.
the last time i needed to let the PC run over night calculating on a
regular basis was in the beginning of the mp3 era when I converted files to burn them on an mp3 CD for my first porttable mp3 (cd) player.
the last time I had to do such an overnight numbercrunch session i converted the 4CD version of the game "feeble files" to get ogg audio and DXA video from wav audio and bink video files for ScummVM.
you must indeed be in need of a supercomputer
