My Only problem is having 1 monitor i looked around sorry if i missed it i haven't seen anyone 5 boxing with Isboxer with 1 screen

I multibox 5 with one screen (granted it's a 42 inch LCD, but I do sit around 6 feet away so it's not ideal). If your montor is 21"+ then you'll be fine.

Looks like you have a great start! For hardware, the only thing you may need down the road is an SSD and 6 more gigs of RAM. I'd get the SSD first (you don't need to go apeshit crazy like some people do with these... no need to set them up in a raid, or get the fanciest one available... just get one at least 32GB, probably 64GB, and try to spend around $100-$150 at most).

The only other recommendation I could offer is to make a list of toons you could ever imagine playing, and start leveling them to 60 in order of liklihood you'd make that team. For example, my order was druids -> pallys -> warlocks -> shamans -> mages -> priests (and then burned out). I'm so glad I did because it happens that priests are my current favorite. In other words, it's better to truly use your RAF time effectively as it could save you $$ and time down the road. Plus, you're doing this all at a perfect time with nothing really going on in WoW until expansion.

All my 80's apart from dk are in icc gear and thought i would like to do something New

Could you post a screenshot of your setup (what it looks like when your ingame)
also is it best to multibox them to 60 then single level them to 80 or just multibox them to level 80?

If you already have ISBoxer, and have used the wizard to setup your team, then you should be able to see what it looks like on your monitor in about 15 seconds.

Get as many teams to 60 as you can handle before burning out. After 60, multibox them as a team - unless you don't want to multibox in which case I'm confused :)

That all looks good to me! Try to get a friend who wants to play interested so you can RAF them with E, that way you get 5 rockets, would be my only suggestion :)

I have always multiboxed 4 characters on just 1 screen. Especially if your aim is pve it should be no problem. The only times when it's convenient is when you lost a slave and want to know where it is. All the other stuff should be trackable on your main's screen. But that's just my opinion.

ISboxer is easy to set up any screen format you need. There is a place to move screen around and it tries to make them the same size for the fast swap feature. You can turn off fast swap if you want a little different size on the slaves. 21" monitor is pretty crowded for 5 toons but like Littleburst said it can be done.

I 5 box with Isboxer on a 19inch. Its not all that horrible actually, but maybe Im just used to it. I really dont look at my slaves screens at all. bout the only time I do, is if they get seperated from the group and I cant see them on my main.

I'm 5-boxing on a 30.5", and its good.
Fairly reasonably priced, as larger monitors go.

Samsung SyncMaster 305T.

I personally would get a new screen for your main, and run the others on your existing screen. (says the man with 5 screens atm :p)

I travel a lot for work, so I use 2 setups. Dual Monitors at home (preferred) and 5 on my 17" laptop screen on the road. For the laptop I use a 1920x1080 main region (full resolution is 1920x1200) with the slaves at the top left using 304x171.
I'd recommend getting another monitor if its an option, but keeping them all on 1 really isn't bad. Just be sure to select "Slave regions always on top" for some nice PiP if you go that route.

[Longshot17]

I find Jamba more helpful then looking at the other screens (follow/health/mana bags full warnings) I have two monitors but as mentioned above, rarely look at the slaves.

ISBoxer does have a single screen config for 5 toons... you should be fine.

I picked up a 25inch INC monitor from bestbuy and 5 boxed for a while. I decided to go get another one and its a lot better of course but one monitor wasnt bad at all. I got the INC's on sale too. I paid like 240 for each one.
