Ya I put together way way to many systems.
I just relized I have the header that goes to the case (speaker, reset, hd led etc.) memorized even with the plus and minus pins....
You can get way better then the doghouse for way less. I get my stuffs wholesale.
I dont see where sli is worth anything:

If you are worried about putting it together yourself, you might see if a local computer store can assemble your computer if you give them the parts. Some places you will need to buy the parts from them, and they will assemble it for $50 to $100 extra. You might also try to give them a list of specs, ask them for a quote, and see what happens. You will pay a little more than newegg, but you will get the local computer store support you are looking for.
Ok y'all win :S will be building my own monster. I'm going to spend the next few weeks reading up and building my parts list and then before I start buying everything I need I will make a new post or update this thread with what I decided to go with. With Wotlk coming out in 3 weeks I'm sure I will get side tracked but whenever I'm ready to take that jump into the darkness of unknowns I will let everyone know.
Thanks to all who responded in this thread. <3 the boxing community :thumbsup:

So after starting with dual boxing and swearing I would NEVER go over two I have moved up to quad and have started plans for 8. So what's the point of this thread you ask? Well I was going to wait for my first team to hit 70 before I got another computer (their at 67) and was going to run with one of the new doghouse systems that were mentioned on the podcast The Instance which the lowest priced one being 1,500 + dollars. Now my current system isn't note worthy but it handles my four instances of WoW with no real problems. So today I notice a computer is for sale that seems to be stronger than mine (don't know much about computers) but it's priced at half the price (its at 869.00) as the doghouse systems. My whole point in getting a doghouse system was the fact that I knew they were way stronger than my machine and if mine could handle 4 copies then I could get 4 more accounts and throw them on the second machine and thus join the wonderful world of 8 boxing. Well since this other machine seems to be stronger than mine anyway I was wondering what y'all would think. I know you get what you pay for but I'm so tempted to get this other machine since all I wanted was something that was better than what I'm using so I would know for sure when I got home it would handle the 4 WoWs.
Current Machine:
HP
RAM: 3071 MB (i think that makes it around 3 GB)
32-bit OS
360 GB Harddrive
Intel Dual CPU E2200 2.20GHz
ATI RXI550 256 MB DDR2 Graphics Card (TD256EH)
Machine on sale: ($849.00)
Asus Essentio CS5111-AP007
4GB DDR2 SDRAM
32-bit OS
640GB hard drive
Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core processor E2200
*The one I was going to get* (i just copied pasted this info thats why this one has so much)
Doghouse System: ($1,595.00) (basic system)
Armor ES 4850
Asus P5Q E CrossFireX
P45 chipset motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
3.0GHz processor
6 MB Shared Cache,
1333MHz FSB
4 Gigabytes Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800 Memory (2 x 2GB DIMMs)
1 x 500GB 7,200 RPM
Western Digital RAID Edition III
SATA drive
ATI Radeon HD 4850 Video Card
Now yes I know the doghouse system is better than all. Seeing as their sole purpose is a gaming rig but I figured something must be wrong with the second system since it *looks* better than mine but I think mine cost about the same price or a bit lower. Since I don't know much about computers I don't mind spending the money to get something that works and I dont have to replace much (well minus the vid card of course since im use to that) so I dont mind getting the doghousesystem. I just figured well maybe I should get this other one if it's better than what I have which would mean it can do what I would need it to do. Thanks for any advice y'all can give.
Please excuse spelling and grammar and TLDR style post.
It's a great configuration for gamers. Thanks for sharing with us.
