First of all, I'll try not to upset msattler, cause when he gets stirred up, people start throwing away money (trying not to get influenced here :) ).
Basically I would recommend milkyway. I prefer them over einstein because they have various optimized apps, while einstein has one gpu app, which doesn't load that much gpu. The bad for milkyway is they need double precision, but if you look here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units#Northern_Islands_.28HD_6xxx.29_series all 6xxx will have DP, so it's future proof.
If you like to tinker with app_info, you could go all in.
You could use milkyway as 1st back-up option for seti, with cpu& 0.95 gpu and einstein as 2nd one with cpu & 0.05gpu.
Or, as Raistmer is doing, put also collatz in.
My recommendation is go for projects that support gpus, like seti :) .

Even if the project had all new hardware, it wouldn't help much with A/C issues.
Issues that are beyond the control of the project (mostly) and will likely always exist in their current facility.
Beyond that, there are still other underlying bandwidth issues.
Not sure if anything actually can be done to help there either, again because of facilities/location/etc.
I'd mention excess capacity, by us users, as a problem, but that's not going to go over well. ;)
Sadly, taking a serious realistic view of things, it's not easy to have an optimistic view that the project will ever run as smoothly as one may like.

What??? The kittyman get stirred up???
LOL. I guess I do get a bit passionate at times.

In the last 10 years plus every spare micro-second I have has gone to SETI and it will continue. Just does not feel right to stop now. If the grass is not greener on the other side as Vyper said, why go.
But I do wish they would do something about all the ghost work units. Then again perhaps I should stop worrying about them.

Glad to hear that............hopefully some ghost busting can be done in the not too distant future.
