Still working on upgrading but I got the screens working last night so here is a SS of the new hotness:

And here is what I upgraded from:

The laptops worked fine for the most part but the new PiP with BOOBS enabled on Keyclone is just too too sweet to pass up.
Possibly thinking of selling the laptops to someone wanting to get into the five boxing thing. Four laptops for $500 plus shipping.
Just add keyclone and synergy and a fifth computer and you are ready to go.

Keyclone now comes with the BOOBS feature... it's awesome.
Nice setup! Are you running one PC now?

Yep. I'll post the specs when I get the damn thing to perform better.
By perform better, you mean not be in pieces? Why the obsession with the watches?

Could I get the specs on those laptops? And would you be willing to sell just 1 or 2 instead of all 4? ;p

The specs on the laptops that are for sale are as follows:
Make and Model: Dell 1100 Inspirons
CPU: Intel Pentium 4 (The 1100 came with either the Celeron or the Pentium chips... the Pentium's run WoW better)
Ram: 512 MB
These computers are being sold AS IS. Which means they are modified like this:

The screens were removed and reattached so they face AWAY from the keyboard. This allowed me to have the keyboard and rest of the laptop tucked away from me and save desk space. These computers run WoW but not at blazing fast FPS. You'll be getting around 15 FPS on these machines. They can NOT run more than one WoW client each.
This sale is for COMPUTERS only. NOT my WoW accounts and NOT keyclone. Nor does it include any kind of tech support from me (I have enough problems of my own).
At this time I am more interested in selling them all together then splitting them up and selling them individually. The price is $500 for all four PLUS shipping.
If you need further information regarding the specs... look it up on line. They play WoW.. what more do you need to know? ;)
Seriously, the computers are currently in my garage at home so I don't have them in front of me.

Cool setup, especially good idea with the monitors that are rotated.
Btw, what area of IT do you work in? I work with Active Directory (mostly 2k3 right now) and a little bit of Cisco.

Btw, what area of IT do you work in? I work with Active Directory (mostly 2k3 right now) and a little bit of Cisco.I am a Monkey. Not formally trained in anything. I poke at it with a stick until it works. I am the only IT guy for a production company in Hollywood, CA. We do (yuck) reality TV shows for broadcast on Network Television. I can say in the four years that I have been hear I have watched exactly ONE of our shows... I thought I was going to vomit. We're an XP house, meaning that is the operating system that runs on all of our computers. This causes a bit of a problem with people who come to work here because they are "creative" and "creative people like Macs". TS - We're XP and if you bring your mac into my building don't expect a lot of support.
So yeah, what area of IT do I work in? I fix problems, try to head problems off at the pass and if I don't know the answer I GOOGLE it.
Dude, IT where the fuck have you been buddy! Nice setup man, I'll PM ya about the laptops. Drop me a line some day. I've been here I just don't spend a lot of time in IRC anymore as we had three of our "shows" picked up. My company can go from 30 emps to 200 emps in a matter of two weeks... and that is what we did. Not that they'll hire another IT guy... noooo that's what they have me for.
So consequently I don't have as much time as I used to.

Ah glad to hear your still about. Being busy is good... reduces the poo flining time you had before, which is a plus.

I lol'd heartily. "I MAYK THEM THAR VIH DEE OHS ON MAH MAC CUZ ITS PURDY AND COLORFUL AND EZ HRR HURR HURR"; on another note I envy you being in an "XP house", my whole department's stuck with 2k while the other building across the street(also part of the company) gets to use XP =\ I hate 2k! It sucks.
Also, do share your stick-poking secrets; where and how hard do you poke to make them run best? And you didn't poke the un-flung feces with it first did you? I don't quite think I'm that desperate for a performance boost...;p
