I would be happy to participate if you can address two immediate concerns that come to mind.

1. I have no idea how to setup my router like you mentioned, and that's intimidating sounding.
2. How tight is security? I mean, will people be able to start blasting my IP to hack my system? I wouldn't want that.

And no offence, I appreciate the initiative and actually think it will work, but Ranch Computing is awesome in price and performance. <--- free plug.
