How many hours per day do you guys sit infront your computers and actually use it? I mean not having it do tasks while your not there, but physically sitting there and using it.

I would say I use mines between anywhere 3-5 hours.

Yeah mostly 3-5 hours here as well.

But there's been a few 5-7 hour days as well. Between just messing around or doing some recordings.

I'm at my computer all day at work so if I exclude the periods when I'm away from it I'd say it would be around 7 hours. Then a few more at home after work. Probably 9-10 hours a day.

I've said between 3-5 hours, although some days may be slightly more and others slightly less. I'm not including the time spent at work, only that at home.
