I got this idea while I was thinking about 5 new accounts, once I'm finished with my current guys, in order to 10 box. I'd need a new state of the art pc with another 2 24 monitors. That brings me in the range of 1750-2250 euro's total. Then I was worried where I have to place those new toys in my office (already using 4 + laptop) in terms of space. Not to mention the noise it's causing (to reduce that it would be another extra $). My favorite computer is my EEE netbook. I often have it open next to my keyboard while I'm working or playing WoW, just for general surfing/irc/IM. It's oh so silent, doesn't produce any heat and works like a charm.

So I wanted to know what it would be to install WoW on that EEE (linux os). After some tweaking iI got it working with reduced graphical settings. As an EEE costs around 300 euro's, i could buy 4 more and be ready for my 5 team. With a remote desktop I could take over any session on my main comp.

It's not only cost effective, but also, required space/overview/ noice, heating & electrical bill wise. Not sure about the last, but 2 24 inch monitors and a huge machine eat quite some electrics. 5 netbooks should use way less (could be totally wrong there, its just what i expect).

Not to mention that I'm mobile. On a business trip I could just take 4 extra eee's with me next to my laptop. Plug them in in my hotel room and box. The extra weight is minor. Only see a problem when I go through customs and they see a bunch of EEE's

Can only think what it would be to run a 10 box team with 9 netbooks and 1 normal computer. It would look really cool and cause a lot of wtf's from people that 'd see it.

Anyone has considered cq done this before? And any pro's/cons i forgot?
