    Default NewEgg PC combo viability

    Hey all,
    I currently 3-box on a Optiplex 745 small form factor. I keep the alts at around 10fps and the main runs at 25.

    I was thinking about picking up a build-it-yourself pc from Newegg to replace my pc. In particular, http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboB...t=Combo.390742

    However, I saw that the MOBO specs had "Onboard Video Chipset: NONE". Will this support 3 copies of WoW? I'd assume it would, quad core processor and all. Will I have to buy a graphics card, too?
    Thanks in advance,
    _S_

    Yes, you will have to buy a graphics card.

    I'll go a little bit further here and say that some of the dell's processors are not always the same exact measurements as processors pc'builders / intel releases to the public. In this case, make sure the board is compatible as well as the case while you are at it. I'll do ya the favor and look into it

    I have some 745's upstairs, I'll tear one apart real quick yes I am that borded at work.....

    well, after looking more at your request and realizing I falsely assumed that you were going to just replace the mainboard and processor in the same small form factor box for some reason. I guess I was just looking for a reason to get away from my office and annoy the person I kicked off of their machine. Obviously you won't be using your i-5 in the new board just ignore my comments

    I'd just be buying the new system altogether; I wouldn't be salvaging any parts from the 745. On a similar note, are there any cool cases that I can put the ol' 745 into? I would assume it'd be some kind of micro ATX?
