It's not hard Ric. You just need a some computers that would already be running day and night and a bit over 3 years. One box is over 12 years old (dual P-III). Another is about 5 (Q6600).
If I replace the video card in the Q6600 with an NVidia I can use the GPU to speed thing up some more. I loaded it on my i7 Qosmio yesterday and that has NVidia graphics.
SWMBO has another instance on her i7 quad core desktop, but she turns that off when she's not using it.
I've throttled all the BOINC instances it to 2 CPUs per box to keep the temperature down.

There's another project that might be of interest to the IIS crowd. Asteroids@home
