The badass nature of a cluster and the experience of building it 
should be a sufficiently compelling reason to run it.

Other reasons:

Advance global medical knowledge - 
	participate in "folding at home" ( real name?)

Gain rep for blug - participate in:	
			SETI
			various crypto breaking contests

Be Charitable:
	Donate processing time to non-profit research
	(perhaps problematic)
