But Martin's right too. Yes you can argue that your paying for the
electricity to run the computers but come on admit it, You were going to
have the machine on anyway, right? 

Wrong. 

3 of my 5 machines would NOT be on 24 hours a day if they weren't
crunching SETI work.

I built a new system JUST to get better speed in SETI,
I had plenty of other things I COULD have done with that $1000.

I have the same thing going on here! I have 17 machines currently
happily crunching. 3 would be on anyway, the rest are on solely
because of Seti AND 12 of the machines are Seti/Boinc specific.
Meaning that is ALL they do! I Have 2 laptops that are on all the time
because of Seti but would be on only when we wanted to do something
else otherwise.
