Background
I\\'m a physics student at Carnegie Mellon University who rather luckily convinced his parents to help him pay for a new Power Mac G5 Dual 2.0GHz with some schtick about it helping me work. (more along the lines of the fact that it will probably be my only computer for about 5 years or so). So now I can use its power all the time for a good cause.
If you have a Mac, you should get the optimized BOINC clients from here:

To make your computer benchmark like crazy you can use the superbench compiles.
Opinion
Freaking awesome. Hopefully I will be doing work on the other end of this thing either this summer or after I graduate. Then \\'I\\' will be the one telling people\\'s computers what to do instead of having my computer take commands from people I don\\'t know.
