You can pay for WUs? That's news to me. Why am I crunching DC for free, when I could be charging people for it...

You say that like there's something wrong with that.
Then again, I am the guy that paid $610 for 22k of SETI@Home WUs on eBay to advance our TeAm in the standings.
I suppose it's all relative.

$350, not bad. They got any smaller form factors?

To put it into perspective, I had about 20 computers running almost non-stop for more than 4 years to get 33K SETI credits. Networkman bought someone's old SETI classic account and joined that account to the team to give us a boost. That account had 22K credits (about 2.5-3 years of work with my computers at the time) and he paid $610 for it. $610 wouldn't pay the electric bill for 6 months on my 20 computers, even less the amount of processing power it took to collect those 22K credits.
In effect, you would be paying a bunch of money to the power company (not even considering the cost of PC upgrades and replacements) in order to give your DC credits to someone else and end up with nothing to show for it.
