how did your first multi-boxing setup come about?
I already had 3 computers in my room before I even thought of multiboxing... a 4th is getting added today only because it's an older computer that I replaced at my work and it's going to be my browser/multimedia computer.
yea decided to make a poll because i am building another pc so i can multi-box with a better setup :) cant wait for parts to arrive
One of the benefits of beeing an IT-proffesional, I got all my computers from work. Just upgraded the gfx cards, and I was good to go.
When I first started multiboxing there wasnt much of software help, and I'm not sure if this forum had started yet. I started up with 5 computers, 5 wireless recivers connected to 1 keyboard.
Now I use a hybrid hardware/software rig. I got 1 computer/screen for each of accounts(5), but broadcasting is done via software (octopus)
I've been multiboxing for a loooong time, dating back to running LDoN instances with 3 toons in EQ1. I spent the past few years 2-boxing in WoW, then took the plunge to 5 accounts (3 puters) about a month and a half ago.

...uh...that's how my WoW multiboxing setup came about =)
I had an already pretty powerful computer that let me run 5 instances of WoW without a problem when I decided to try multiboxing.
Once I got higher level I found shattrah was impossible to go to, and that AV was horrible -- so I upgraded to better ram and an 8800 gtx and now my system does 5 fine at acceptable frames.
Your poll lacks options....
4) Took four laptops from work and heavily modified them to your evil purposes.

Used existing computer to dual box. Moved up to triple. Moved up to 5. Got new computer to run 5 well. :P
This is my current setup:

The screens are 26" and 20", the 20" is where I load up the alts. Four 800x600 windows fit perfectly in a 1600x1200 screen.
