Grid computing - useful examples?

I was doing a bit of Googling on the topic of grid computing. Specifically, I was looking for good examples of universities using idle computer resources to good effect. Our uni has heaps of machines that are idle much of the time and I'm considering raising awareness of the issue.
Does anyone have a good example, maybe from their own uni or research institute that they'd like to share?

On a separate but related note, I'm not sure what to make of PatriotGrid. At the least, it's a bloody awful name.
