You can put them to good use by joining our Folding@Home team. You contribue to humankind by folding proteins to potentially help eliminate a number of diseases.

Here is some more information: http://forum.pcmech.com/forumdisplay...sprune=45&f=20 Look towards the top of the page.

You can also donate your computer to our Folding@Home program. We are looking for computers to put to a good cause. http://forum.pcmech.com/showthread.php?t=134596

Personally, I am willing to host/house a few machines and keep them running 24/7 for Folding@Home. I have pleanty of room in my garage for this.

Moderators,
Maybe we need to put a sticky in one of the most visited threads, somewhere other than in Distributed Computing, for people who want to donate their old machines? ...or a note on the homepage of PCMech.
