Heck, I'm still using parts from my old Packard-Bell.

I don't have any problems running folding@home on my PS3 (it's been folding nearly non-stop since the program was released). There's a 1 year warrantee on the machine, so if any problems come up with it, they'll probably come up well before then. Like they did with the 360.

The key aspect to this story is just what the incentive program consists of. Is the cost to run the machine worth the incentive's, which is almost certainly going to be a subjective decision, rather than arbitrary. Some incentives could be gobbled up quicker than Grant took Richmond, while others would probably become laughing stocks.

It's sort of like the old joke "Will you sleep with me for $1,000,000? Yes. Will you sleep with me for $1? No, what kind of person do you take me for? Well, we already established that, now we're just negotiating a price."
