How do I view the PCs that I have running projects? I have 4 PCs that are periodically running Tasks (they don't run all day, I shut them down at night) and I would like to be able to see the "names" of the PCs I have running. Any help appreciated.

Running BOINC version 8.2.4 (x64)

I have recently taken all of my PCs off of the Science United account manager, and I'm trying to clean up the mess that that causes. Any guidance on that issue is also welcome.
Thanx all!

Once attached to projects normally, go to the website of any of the projects you are attached to normally. Then click on your account followed by view, next to "Computers on this account." You can see them all there and by checking either tasks or times they contacted the project work out which is which if the details view of the computer isn't enough to do so.

Slightly different on World Community Grid because their version the BOINC server code is so customised. There may be a few other projects with highly customised versions of the code which make it different as well.

One thing Dave forgot is that normally you will only see computers that have been active in the last 30 days, so to see older computers click on "show all computers". Noting of course this may not work properly as you were previously attached via Science Units or any other boinc manager.

Welcome to the real world of BOINC and all the thrills that provides.
