Well I'm assuming you do a dc project already? 
do you have them networked?

PM me if you have questions or as always feel free to ask
However, if you already do one.. what do you like to do?
programming, hardware, tweaking, games?

been there, done that....i ran seti for about a year or two and it got old after a while. No offense, but do u have any other ideas..If i find something i like i might throw a distributed client on there, i just dotn want it eating up cpu power when i am trying to do something.. (yea i know its only "supposed" to use empty cycles, yea right..SETI didnt,and i know i can just turn if off...)
any other suggestions...
i have no idea what i want to do.
- i have already made a weserver/ftp for a lil while (got bored with it cause i have no site content or visitors)
- have run a cs server..(still turn it on about 3 nights a week, but gettin old...dont have enough bandwith...dang DSL.only 10pl.max)
- I used to play alot of games..but now i just play counter-strike on a regular basis..its the only i really enjoy anymore. Its not just run aroudn and if it moves shoot it. And if it dosent move, shoot it anyways)
- I have no desire to program (way to tideous and time consuming)
- i build new systems all day long,its my job. 9so i already know every tweak available)
I guess i want something new, exciting, and something other people can benefit form. (like my cs server). It cant require a lot of learning time,mor than 2-3 weeks or lots of bandwith..limited to DSL.

you could also learn to program, in specific stuff dealing with networks. (like maybe something to do with smp's spread over several comps, i forgot the exact term).
