Quite happy with the way this turned out
worked a fair bit on the texturing, the turret model uses 4 x 4000x4000 texture maps (diffuse, bump, specular, self illumination), the three monitors use one 800x800 diffuse map (same map used for self illumination and opacity). background uses 4 x 4000x4000 texture maps (diffuse, bump, specular, self illumination). Thanks to for the red HDRI map and for tips on the scene. I would also like to thank all those who gave feedback during the progress. Render time at this res is about 22mins with no raytrace antialiaser or supersampling and 27 rays/sample. I will do one later, if people want, at 1600x1200 with AA + SS (but that would take somewhere around 4-12hours im assuming).
I have volumetric lighting through the door, which has a slight fractal noise, though its abit hard to see (easier to see on the clay render). I also have a glow effect on the red lines across the floor and the screens.

Modelled in 3d studio max R8,
rendered with Default Scanline Renderer with Advanced Lighting (Light Tracer)
no raytrace antialiasing or supersampling
494 objects, 118752 polygons 48 lights (1 skylight + omnis and spotlights)
slight post processing (blur + dodge) to increase the contrast slightly

as you can see i used my integrity cell render as one of the mini schematics for the screen, i thought it looked pretty cool. most of the "grainyness" is from the bump maps and not the low rays/sample so even if/when i render with AA/SS you will see that most of it is still there :s
