I would definetly be interested. I am currently folding an SMP on my Q6600 along with a GPU2 on my 9800GTX. Getting around 7000PPD. Although my mum will no longer allow me to leave my PC running 24/7 due to the high cost of electricity these days . But nevertheless I still fold as much as I can, usually 24hours every other day.

Sorry, but i can't due to the costs of electricity.
Folding with the CPU alone would come at 50€/month, CPU+GPU 100€/month, and this would be on top of the rest of the bill.
I think electricity prices are the main reason many people aren't folding as much anymore. If more renewable energy was used (wind farms, solar panels, etc.) surely electricity prices would be a lot more reasonable. Every product involving oil seems to be barely affordable. Renewable Energy FTW!

Yep prices going through the roof here ! i'll say sorry not for me on this one
Two dual cores and an 8800GT folding away here. Was on grid.org effort for years before that. Anything that can maybe find a cure for cancer is worth the money as far as I'm concerned.
