I've seen this concept in action on the internet, where personal users are linked in and are letting their computers assist in things like figuring out Mersenne prime numbers and the such. Anyone, including you (yes, YOU!) can sign up.
Cool concept, but the price seems a bit steep... you could almost buy the required equipment for what their asking, if you needed to use the service more than one time.

The price seems steep, but I wonder what that just did to security schemes.
