BOINC is an open source software platform to allow distributed computing projects like SETI@Home and Climateprediction.net (CPDN) which use volunteered computer resources to run. Why leave a computer idle when it could be doing something beneficial? You can participate in several projects, ensuring that your computer will be kept busy even when one project has no work. You can control how your resources (such as computer time and disk space) are divided among these projects.

I like to know I'm helping, and it runs almost silently in the background. I sometimes have to disable it while gaming so that my Intel GMA can handle the load. This is an excellent way to make the world a better place by doing nothing more than leaving your computer on at night.
