I have a PC lying around collecting dust with a GTx 570 that I would love to add to my current Mac Pro as a render machine. Is there any update on future licensing options for render node licenses?

Not yet - we're evaluating options, expect something once 2.0 is out a few months.

Assume this is your only option for the next several months. While we're looking into other pricing models, nothing is set at this time.

I'd love this to come sooner rather than later too. We have quite a number of boxes here in the office we'd love to get working, but buying an entire standalone just seems too much per node!

When will the render licenses be available?
Any news? How much?

Maybe in the next couple of months, maybe sooner if all goes well - but possibly a little later if we run into unforeseen issues.

Bottom line, until there is an official announcement in the news section, please don't count on an exact date. I will say that we're very excited to roll this out, and we're working as fast as we can to get it out to you.
