What do you mean by build farm?
Do some offices have dedicated build machines?
Or is this "just" a lot of desktop machines wired up to work together?

Several offices are using icecream with whatever desktop machines happen to be available to improve build times. The London office was told last year that there's a plan to buy dedicated build machines to add to the cluster, but I am unaware if there is any progress or whether the idea was dropped.
