Without more info, you won't get an answer.

Option 1: Buy / Aquire new PC's.

Option 2: Play 3/4 on your best comp and 2/1 on your slowest.

Option 3: Don't play 5 accounts, go triple or dual if thats all your comp can handle.

Option 4: Don't multibox, save your cash till you can afford new comps or upgrades then multibox.

Option 5: Something else that I haven't thought off or something vital you left out to warrant an option 5. :)

Here's what I do. I use 2 computers for my shamans, 3 if I run my other group(3rd one for the healer alone). One toon on the 1st computer, the other 4 with maximizer/keyclone. If I pvp, I put 2-3 on the 1st computer, so when my main dies, I switch windows with no problem. You really don't need a big spec computer to run 4 windows. You won't go over 40fps anyway in a given window with keyclone.

If they ban keyclone, guess I could setup 5 computers. But I already have around 10 in my house, and 5 are in my room alone(2 for my wife, 3 for me). The kids have the rest. Don't need any more heat or wires in my room! Our bedroom is pretty big(30x30 feet), and the computers alone can warm up the room this time of year.

I agree with khayos - You might need to consider upgrading your computers or reducing the # of toons you are running.

I run 4 toons on my 2nd comp w/keyclone and my main char on my main comp. I made sure to set the video settings for each char on the 2nd comp as low as possible and turned off the sound. I never have an issue with fps expect when i enter a major city - which I try to stay away from, or if i have to, I go 1 or 2 at a time.

For an accurate idea of what you are realistically going to be able to box then we need your computer specs. As well as what you want to do, PvE, PvP?
