Hello iamhigh,
Thousands of businesses/schools/organizations are already participating in the FAH project.
May I suggest you visit the folding forum where your questions can be viewed and answered by knowledgeable F@h donors.

Hello Gewalt,
Your power estimates are overstated.
Known F@h power consumption (measured at wall):
Normal client- around 45 watts above idle.__
GPU2 client- 3870 adds around 70 watts- total includes CPU/system draw as 1 CPU core feeds the 3870- producing >100 GFLOPS analysis.__
SMP client- dedicated rigs w/minimal peripherals using OC'd Q6600 use 110 watts (and are very fast).__
PS3 clients- use 180-200 watts while folding @ rate > 85 GFLOPS.__
Individual machines will vary, of course.__
Estimates are that F@h uses 18-25 Mwatts avg, and is currently crunching at 1.6+ PFLOPS.
Not too shabby.__
