  I was inspired to ask this question by this picture which was found in the Wikipedia page for 'homework'.

  I wonder where this guy keeps the CPUs lol, you can only see 3 monitors and 1 laptop. So, back to the question. How many computers do you use for work or homework. I only have one laptop now, but after a the first year in polytechnic I plan to get build a new desktop.

  o.0   Why do you have them running 24 hours? Does that mean 24/7, like you switch it on since you buy it and then never shut it down?

  They are shut down on a rotating basis, so its not truly 24hours, just shift to shift.
