Hardware Advice

Let me see if I have this right. You want to move your WOW installation to a SSD NAS device and network your 4 PC's to play off the WOW folder on the NAS?

I am not sure this would be wise at all how are you connected to the NAS? Gig-E?

Yes that was the Idea,
and also yes Gig-E

I questioning if the gain from Raid SSD from the NAS will be enough gain or will I lose the benefit of the SSD by getting a bottleneck trough put from the Gig-E

You're probably the only one doing this. So you're breaking new ground here.

I think Gig-E will kill performance, but try it. Maybe it'll work!

I've done something similar, if you count playing wow where the data was on an external server since the computer I was using didn't have enough hard drive space for wow. =P I'm not sure if I raided that night or not...

I wouldn't run duel video cards.

As stated, Innerspace can allow you to split games between graphics cards, even if you're still using the main monitor. Using two 9800GX2s I put two clients on one GPU, two on another, and then had my main on the primary GPU. The last GPU I left alone. I had wonderful performance. Going from two 9800gx2s to one 5850 was noticeable (FPS/smoothness wise) in dalaran. Do it right and you can really benefit performance-wise.
