Recommendations for alternate projects ??

Have never crunched anything but SETI.

Any recommendations for me.

21 machines Win XP or server OS.

Thanks in advance.

Rosetta@Home
Docking@Home
Orbit@Home (when they have work available)
Cosmology@Home

couple health projects and some space projects

And if you get bored waiting for SETI to come back up, head over to zooniverse.com and help out with some citizen science. There are several projects available that need volunteers.

Einstein@home because of the cosmological implications

Primegrid for us math people

Rosetta@home needs your help to determine the 3-dimensional shapes of proteins in research that may ultimately lead to finding cures for some major human diseases. By running the Rosetta program on your computer while you don't need it you will help us speed up and extend our research in ways we couldn't possibly attempt without your help. You will also be helping our efforts at designing new proteins to fight diseases such as HIV, Malaria, Cancer, and Alzheimer's (See our Disease Related Research for more information). Please join us in our efforts!

I crunch for Einstein@Home along with Seti@Home. Right now all crunching is done on Einstein as I have Seti set to not fetch new work, till new servers get here.

the splitters are reported as disabled or not running, yet the results ready to send keeps going up

I added Aqua@Home to my 2 Quads as they would take the best advantage of the app, my Quad Cuda machine will also be doing Collatz on the GPU while the Quad ATI machine will be doing Milkyway.

The iMac is doing Collatz now.

Einstein and DNETC are my backup projects.

I'm going to clear out all the outstanding SETI WU and shut down all but one of my farm. This will allow me to clean out clogged filters, tidy up hard drives, maybe even get the spaghetti farm under control and the room temperature to drop (outside is 12.5C, room temp is 24.3C with no heating).

I have had good experiences with Rosetta, Climate Prediction, and World community grid. For Climate Prediction each WU takes about 2 weeks. In Rosetta you can dial in how long the WU takes from 3 ours to 24 hours, as each UW is just a protein, so the longer run-times just result in more models done per WU. World community Grid has more than 5 separate projects running under them, mostly medical and environmental research, so it's good.

I think collatz is useless, but it loads my ATI GPU, so I use it as a stress test on the GPU.

One thing to watch out for is that some of the other projects are sending out very short dated WU which then run at high priority. If only projects would send out sensible dated tasks as a norm then everyone would be happier as high priority should be the exception not the rule. Examples of this behaviour are Rosetta, Malaria Control and Einstien@home.
On the other hand at least one project send out huge WU that are dated a year or mare in the future. An example of this is Climate Prediction.
As they say - "Yer pays yer money and yer takes yer chance".

I strongly recommend World Community Grid. They have some great projects right now including Computing for Clean Water and Help Fight Childhood Cancer as well as the 2nd phase of a Clean Energy Project.
