My 5-boxing rig in my newly built gamingroom

[cepheus]

Hello. I'm fairly new to this forum, so for a short presentation Im a 5-boxer from norway who startet boxing when TBC released. I now have a lvl 70 protection paladin and 4 priests (holynuke or shadow, depending on what I'm doing)

My first rig when I leveled up was just a bunch of pc's, screens and wireless keyboard recivers. Now I have had a 5 months break from wow since I have moved into a new house and done some interiour-reworking. Here I have made a brand new office/playroom where I'm going to build my new multibox rig.

Here is what I have done so far:

My new selfbuilt office:


Some of the eqipment I'm going to use


Rig for mounting the monitors:


One more with some monitors mounted:



Mostly finnished :

Looking good.

Can't wait to see more!

Ditto. Just a headsup, see if you can route the pc in another room or find a way to vent the heat and noise away.

You had me at wood finish

Man I can all ready tell this is going to look great. Please keep use updating was your process with the build *Thumbs up.

Tounge & Groove ftw.

Thanks for all the feedback and support

I've added another picture with some monitors mounted. As you can see on the far right monitor, I missplaced the mount a bit so It wont push all the way back. Guess I fix it tomorrow. I'm also going to switch one of the monitors to match the other to get perfect symetry :P

Both walls you can see at that picture is leading outdoors, so thats a bit hard. However when I'm going to rework my livingroom in the 2nd floor, I might make a little closet for all the machines there. Then I can just pull the cables through the ceiling. I doubt this will be before next year though

What I do notice is that you can possibly, create a exhaust vent (with fan) out the side of your house. and contain the pcs in that area to blow heat out. Air through front of the pcs, hot air out the back into the vent outside the house.

In my case, I ran all the wires under the carpet to my closet, then wired up a fan off the top of the closet to blow all the hot air up into the attic, while the cool air was sucked from the gap under the door. This improved the temperature of my room incredibly and the computers are as cool if not better then all the heat trapped in the room.

Nice setup. I second the "blow heat outside" idea. It is easier than cooling it and your heat sources (computers) tend to be clustered together. Blow that outside - MUCH cheaper than trying to counteract it through A/C.

damn

this is sooo cool.

I've thought several times about building my own rack but I'm not that good in such things

thank you for sharing and plz keep us updated.

I might do something like that. However I dont need it before next summer. In Norway its starting to get really cold now, and the heat the computers generate is acctually a good thing. It helps keeping the room warm and confertable It could be nice to contain the noise though
