EyeMWing,
In your situation, as I'm guessing all the machines are networked(?), you may wish to look at running a SetiQueue on your internet-equipped machine. This will allow you to have all your other networked machines talking to the queue, which will in turn talk to Seti@home. It will provide you with a central point for caching Work Units (so that you can continue to run while you are offline) and will also allow you to specify when you want the completed results to upload and download new work units
If you need any help on setting this up, PM me or put up a post in the DC forum asking for help

Fun for us, we are in an ongoing race with BBR and that puts them within about 3 days of passing us.

Rufio,
The SETI CLI *only* uses idle CPU time. I've ripped/burned CDs/DVDs, encoded MPEGs, etc. all with the SETI CLI in the background. Plus the CLI will process many more Work Units (WUs) per day...processing more and more data received from Arecibo.
Actually, I have it on my dad's PC (an older PIII 500) but he has some screensaver that displays hi-res graphics (and changes every 30 secs) and it pretty much knocks the SETI CLI out of commission (no idle cycles left over for it)

Time to join BBR!!! Sorry, I just would rather be on the winning team.

Is there a FAQ i can read to set this thing up?
I have a screensaver that shows my pictures (like the Mac os X one)....that won't hinder my crunching abilty, will it? I have a p4 2.4ghz as my main system.

As for your screensaver...not too sure. Depends how intensive it is. If it's just showing pics, it should be OK. If it's doing weird transitions and effects with them then it may cut down the Seti work a little
As always, any help needed, PM or ask here or ask in DC forum

If someone would like to donate an Athlon XP that's better than an XP1700 I could upgrade my 2nd rig and crank out some more WU's (if you've unlocked a T-Bred so the multi can be changed on a KT266 chipset that would be cool)... I'm averaging about 13 per day between my XP1700 that's always running, and my main rig that doesn't run SETI 24/7
