Performs like a champ. I got pretty busy with non-gaming life and took about 9 months off multiboxing since I just didn't have the time. Just renew'd the subscription on all 5 accounts and currently working on a horde team with some friends on Laughing Skull. 5x death knights. Free level 55's on a new server was just too good to resist. Also created 5x orc shaman that are starting from level 1.
I'm still on my old 8800GTX videocard as my original plan was to wait for the nVidia GT300 and DX11 to come out, but I don't think I want to wait forever.. so I'll likely be jumping on a 5870 2GB model when it arrives. (Soon I hope?) I'm *really* looking forward to taking advantage of Eyefinity and 3x 24" LCDs from one videocard. I may hold out for the 5870X2 if it does actually have 3x video support and I have to wait awhile for the 2GB 5870. (Engineering samples show 2x DVI and 1x mini-display port on the 5870X2.. so it looks good.)
If I were to do one thing differently on my rig, I would have just gone with one 300GB Velociraptor and picked up a couple Intel SSDs to RAID0 instead. I'd use the SSD array for the OS, WoW, and a few other games, then keep the 300GB Velociraptor for the OS swap space, applications, and less critical games. I'm also about to fill the 2TB of 7200 rpm drives, so I may have to get a RAID controller soon for extra hard drive cables. That's the one downside of the Asus X58 Rampage 2 Extreme motherboard - only 6 SATA ports! With 2x optical drives (DVDR & BluRay burner), 2x 300GB Velociraptors, 2x 1TB 7200rpm drives, and an SSD.. I don't even have my DVDR plugged in.
