Hey,
I just finished my second rig (minus the hard drive, which I'm picking up today) and will be running 4 of my toons on this box. Aside from buying a second copy of keyclone (which I'll probably do this evening), what else do I need to make the two boxes talk to each other? Is it just keyclone, or do I need something else? Thx in advance :)

Nope, a second Keyclone license should be all you need. Man, I really need to do this since starting to do wintergrasp.
Basically, the second instance of Keyclone will connect to the first via TCP/IP and then keys will be broadcast bidirectionally regardless of which PC they are typed on. You'll have to configure this by typing in the IP address and port number from the first keyclone instance into the second as described here:

You want the section that starts "you can also keyclones on other machines in order to take full advantage of all that spare hardware."

Thanks emesis!
Say, where have you and your shammies been lately? Haven't seen ya in forever. We should get some pee-vee-pee going around Ebon Hold or somethin' :thumbup:

Got my DK up to 80 and have been mostly buried in heroics. Got most of my gear from drops and badges that I need from those, except
1. Stupid tanking pants from Cyanigosa which will NOT DROP FOR me (I've run VH about 15 times).
2. Decent helms for my shammies. I'm doing the wintergrasp lag festival for the Titan-forged Mail Helm of Dominance. Seriously painful.
Doing some old world stuff, running Karazhan + ZA for fun. Been to about half of Naxx.
Don't really need cash anymore unless I want to gear up my secondary team and sick to death of dailies (I still need to do the Hodir grind and just can't stomach it, frankly), so you may not see me around Ebon Hold.
Run wintersgrasp - we can strobe past eachother in rubber-band/slow motion and /wave. :S

Lol, I'm not gonna try that slide show until I get my other rig up and running. Is WG pretty boxing friendly?

I hate WG. Fantastic idea, horrible execution.
I haven't been in a match that lasts longer than 7-8 minutes, and the attacking side always wins, so that's predictable.
The awful things:
1. The epic lag.
2. The variable/unpredictable starting times, only discoverable by talking to the WG NPC or being in-zone (why not just every 2 hours for god sakes)
3. Joining a raid and having some asshole in the raid open a port to another city or something ridicuolous like that right next to the WG portal (I had someone use Direbrew's Remote and two of my toons got ported to the Grim Guzzler in BRD!). Don't join raids.
4. The daily quest pickup mechanic
The sad thing, this just would not be that hard to fix and make a lot of fun. Run WG every hour on the hour. Make it instanced in some way, or simply limit the number of times people can run it daily.
