so I'm in a fraternity, and we do community service. Well, one of the upcoming ones is installing computers at the local YMCA. now you can bet your booty that I'll be pitching folding, and I'm of course expecting the usual "sure, just as long as it dosn't break my pc" so I'll be installing it running at 50-75%(depending on how nice the machines are) with probably adv methods 'n bp off just to make sure it dosn't have any effect. But yea, ask around, YMCA's, JCC's, ask if they need help installing new hardware, maybe you'll get a free borg out of it.

another thing to think about would be asking for their old hardware if they plan on dumping the stuff. Tell them that it's going for a good cause (f@h) and they might just hook you up. Only problem i could see though is if the hardware was all sorts of old, then you might not want it lol...but if it's something like 400mhz pII's you could always either donate them to someone that is part of yatta if you don't have the space/don't want the electric bill or hook them up to fold for yatta or your own name.
