Ok so I know as it sits it cant run WoW because it neither runs Windows or OSx, but Google made it very hacker friendly and already alot of people installing Linux on it.

So do you think its powerful enough to run Windows and a single WoW? Dual-box WoW?? Figure networking multiple together, maybe take 5 of them to 10-box?

Here are some of the stats:
core i5 processor
4GB RAM
16GB SSD drive

I five box on a q6600 with 8gb ram. It's a 4 year old machine.

You're low on RAM to 5-10 box but I see no reason that thing can't run wow, dual box, triple, maybe four.

Assuming you can install windows on it....
I've also no idea what kind of video card is in it

Looking at the specs on that thing and the price... I don't really see the point of stringing a bunch together. You could build a 5 box machine for $800 or a 10 box machine for like $1500 and you wouldn't have to pay for several windows 7 licenses.
