Just use the same info that you used on the first computer to setup all the rest of your "farm".
BTW, welcome to the "farming" life!

It's actually pretty easy ;)

First you'd need to install boinc on the new computer ;) Then attach it, just like you did with the one you use now, by using your account key and the project url. And then you're done :) You can at this point see both your computers on your account page
