I don't so much have idle CPU time as a resource, but "use it or lose it power" - my office is off-grid solar, is "obscenely overpaneled" for winter and experimental reasons (I built a small A-frame over there before going big for the house system, and it's wired in), so I have a lot of power that I can potentially generate, if I can find a way to use it.
I have several systems in there now that just do BOINC compute of various forms. If I have surplus power, I run them, if I don't, I don't. I really need to move them outside in the summer, though - I spend a lot of energy on air conditioning to keep the inside cool.
Pick a project you find useful and go! It'll chew as much idle CPU as you let it!
