He did NOT ask what would be better
he stated he has 45 machines that already run 24/7
Guess YOU CAN't read (or is the problem comprehension)

Huh? Looks like you're the one who can't read.

And just what did I miss
he stated that those 45 machines already run 24/7

but you all insist ... would be better .... spend on cards ...
I don't think that was his question

Yes putting a gpu in each machine would earn more
but it will take a yr to PAY for those gpu's

since he's already paying the power bill for 45 computers
what's so hard to comprehend

not that much

He's already paying the power bill for 45 computers idling - there's a difference between the power bill for 45 computers each idling on ~4% CPU, and 45 computers maxing out their CPUs at 100%:

You're not using spare CPU time; you'll instead be running all of those computers at full power 24/7, which is roughly an extra 70 watts each.
