Most of those PCs resources get wasted anyway since most of them don't 
use them to 100% capacity, while you do a spreadsheet, word processor, 
web browsing, listening music (.mp3, .mp4, etc.), watching a movie (a 
DVD and Xvid/DivX movies are GPU accelerated), etc. The project client 
runs in third plane, no getting in the way at all, and does actual 
scientific Lab. testing using spare resources.

  I always wanted to help in disease research, help those guys in the 
Lab making test after test after test, but I wouldn't wanna actually be 
a Lab guy since I don't like Biology/Biochimestry much, but is so 
necessary for Humanity, many people would also wonder "How can I help to 
research and speed up cures/treatment for this millions of people sick?. 
Nothing... so I'll do just that". Now that answer has changed, you can 
do A LOT.
