The electric bill isn't going to be a problem in this case... since Uncle Sam pays for the utilities.
Possibly thinking about upgrading from software KVM's to some Vetras... still contemplating.
Thanks for all the info on this site. <3

the antec 300 case is an amazing little case (bargain too)
but don't forget to clean the air filter every so often
it's so efficient in stopping dust it will actually clog up and cut your air-intake!

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?

I used to 5 box on just my main machine fine however it would run at around 40fps average and its nothing special hardware wise, unless your planning on more than 5 boxing maybe I dunno?

I had the Saitek keyboard a couple of years ago, I still like how they look and the action on the keys is really good, however every Saitek I've encountered has died. I don't know if they're cursed or I am, but I have as much luck with Saitek keyboards as I do with Maxtor hard drives, which is to say absolutely zero. I bought one of the new G15 keyboards a while back and I absolutely love it. In all, I like your setup. I would worry about kicking the cases if it was me. I wonder, what monitor stands are you using? I've been looking for a good one to support my new setup (a pair of 22 wides between a pair of 19s sideways.)

It's a personal preference to me, honestly. I know it's overkill on the wow, but as Suvega says, "For hardware for a 5-box setup, I'm a firm believer in 5 computers. Why 5 machines over 1? Performance, latency, reaction time, and Flexability." And since WAR is out, I can multibox WAR no problem.

I hope the Saitek board lasts longer than you've stated, or else I would be one sad mofo. I forgot to mention that the stands I'm using are Ergotron's DS100 33-091-200. :thumbup:

i had a saitek II for awhile, SUPER sturdy kb. i used it when i was really big into FPS's, and that thing took quite a beating from my angry fist, and still works great!

[Ughmahedhurtz]

Don't see how you do that with so little leg room. :P

[wootipwn]

Well, if leg space is ever a problem, simple solution, pull the table out. However I sit awkwardly in my chair most of the time... So no bother :P

I was going to say how do you deal with the heat at your feet but I see you are in Minot you just need to crack a window.

I stayed at that Sleep Inn one winter for a week in Minot they had one heck of a water park for a Motel.
