Well, only 3005 units for me. I've run SETI on just one machine for the most part since I started, which is my personal machine in its various incarnations. I've been a SETI@home user for 5.005 years. I would also fall under the category of "I do it now because I did it then."
I believe that the program has merit, and that it's worthwhile to continue. However, as I have several members of extended family battling cancer in one for or another, I have set up machines to run the folding simulations, along with the United Devices program depending on what they are currently running. Luckily, I have a few machines at home that I can split time like that. I am also fortunate to work for a small company that allows me much leeway in what I do with our servers. They're my responsiblity anyway, so no one says anything. Heh, the president of our company liked SETI so much he ordered a new Alienware to run it faster:).
