I've been running BOINC on my media server for the past 2 years, contributing to various projects that also award Gridcoin. Not that it's very much money at all - quite literally the same amount of money I'd probably have found between couch cushions in the same timespan.

Since the machine is on all the time already, and BOINC seems to be smart enough not to impede transcoding operations, it's not been a problem at all - and at least contributes back to the various projects I'm in. WCG, Rosetta@H, Einstein@H, etc.
