every pro boxer I've talked to uses 5. I could do 1 but I would need the zomg uber quad core. That would work too but I still need to figure out the parts and stuff
Pro? I'm not aware of any boxers getting paid a salary to play WoW.

I wasn't aware that a $199 quad core was zomg uber.. WoW doesn't really require a lot of resources. You can 5-box smoothly on a $1500 machine, which will cost much less than 5 separate boxes in initial cost and upkeep (power, heat, noise). If you've never built a machine before, have someone physically help you - it's easy to make expensive mistakes. I personally prefer playing 5 accounts on one machine, since my WoW windows are very close together. Have you every sat in front of 5 monitors? That requires a lot of head movement to look around.. I use 4x displays at work.. a 30", 24" and 2x 20", and it can be a neck workout. I'd prefer being able to see all 5 WoW windows across two or three displays without having to turn my head.
