Yep; do it all the time! Gotz two Acer laps hooked up to 24" LCD monitors and I shut off the screens on the laps. I also use external ergonomic keyboards anhat the heck? I keep three boxes running at all times anyway, so I have provided plenty of desktop area. I use those 6 ft. ABS folding tables from Lowe's and just line them up against the wall to create a series of work stations. The laps are in addition to the main PC tower unit and a backup PC tower.
