wootipwn's setup

[Vyndree]

Why do some people go 1 computer for each wow client? my little laptop runs 4 easy with the fps capped at 25 or so, or do you need each wow runnin at 60fps+ or something?

1) Hardware set-ups will work for new games without fuss. Some software setups are simply keypress-multiplexers, but that doesn't mean the game in question will accomodate software like WoW does. Hardware is reliably cross-platform with no changes.
2) Performance. You cap the FPS. We don't. Your laptop loses power or internet? Our other PCs keep on chugging and we still have a chance of 4-manning whatever we're in combat with. You lag and lose /follow in high-population areas like Shattrath and Dalaran or on epic flyers? We don't. Your bottleneck is your PC -- our bottleneck is our internet connection (and WoW doesn't use much).
3) Upgrades. Let's say WoW updates its graphics like the shadows and such. Will your computer work in 1 more expansion? 2? 3? Each computer is capable of handling a heavier load -- therefore, chances are, we won't have to upgrade it as often (or if we do, we don't have to upgrade to top-of-the-line parts -- yesterday's gcards still give us great FPS since we don't hammer it with 5 windows to process at once).
4) Window space. I've got a 2x3 array of 19" widescreen monitors (5 for WoW windows, 1 for intarweb browsing/wowhead/leveling guides/email). I've got the same resolutions, so I can use a multiplexed mouse for targeting AoEs if I need to, and I can actually read the text on all of my screens.

Just some food for thought. Nothing wrong with Software -- nothing wrong with hardware either. Each have their benefits. We don't get PiP, but we get alot more room to oogle at things so we don't really need it. We don't get a reliable round-robin, but we don't have to worry about ever getting banned (even an accidental false-positive) for running software. It's a trade-off.

Seriously dude, Minot....wow....so sorry.

[Fizzler]

Everyone has the same response in Minot when you say. "How can you deal with this cold."

"The cold keeps the riff raff out" I think they learn that in Elementary School or something.

[Clanked]

Ehh, Minot isn't so bad.

<-- stationed at Eielson

[wootipwn]

I have a friend that lives up there, but about 8 hours away from Eielson, daylight... daylight.

[d0z3rr]

I lived in Bismarck for 7 years, went to Minot several times. Have no idea how anyone lives there without blowing their brains out (Bismarck or Minot, shit...any part of ND).

I was planning on making a 6th comp to become the main comp and wanted to make it something Antec 900 or 1200 also. They just fit so nicely, I don't know what it is but they are still SICK.

All good, just thought you may have gone to school with either of them, since theres really only 2 highschools, had a 50/50 chance. And since the graduating class is so low, it wouldnt be hard to recognize the name. Did you hear of the highschool kids that robbed a gas station multiple times, and they wore there high school's sweatshirts? i know those kids went to the highschool my cousins did.
