well he could always wipe those boxes and install a minimalist text mode only 
Linux and still run seti at home... then he would get the absolute maximum 
performance from it as there would be no GUI overhead stealing processor 
cycles.

I've given up on seti at home myself... having the power supply fans running 
constantly just got on my nerves...

I just wonder how many computers have been worn out before their time from 
having seti run on them while "idle".
