Inspired by people on this forum I have decided to give 5 boxing a go.
I considered running 5xwow on 2 comps but didn't find running 2/3 wows on 1 comp reliable enough for what I want to do. I have 3 comps already so I only need to buy 2 more.
I'm in the very early stages of this so am a few weeks away from actually starting to play.
I have found this forum very helpful and it has given me alot of ideas about what I want to do so thanks everyone :)

I run 3 on 1 computer, 2 on the other and it works out great. I have one window per computer maximized, and there is no big loss in frame rate, or increase in cpu temp, etc.

I have around 7 computers in the house, some for my kids, couple for my wife, couple for me. I could easily afford more for a "proper" 5 box setup, but having 5 monitors going at the same time doesn't appeal to me right now. That would mean a new desk, monitor mounts, wiring out the ass, and other fun stuff I'm sure.

But if you have the time and space to do it, by all means go for it:)

I've actually just set up a new desk which was something I needed to do anyway since my old one was on its last legs.
Got some guy who works for me to make some monitor mounts. Pretty simple things out of mdf. Getting them painted atm. Just need to decide what to do with monitors. I have 2x19inch ones I was going to use in the middle. I also have 2x15inch ones. Not sure if it's worth using these tbh. Probably better off just buying 4x17inch or 4x19inch.
