Well it's been a week, I might as well give a little update!
Yes, I did get the machine. My only frustration was that I ordered the parts on a Wednesday. Most of them actually showed up on Thursday! But, the Video Card, the last piece didn't show till Moday! Arg! Okay, so that was a week ago I finally got up and running.
The new machine runs like a champ though. I got everything installed, I eventually got KeyClone up and going, and eventually installed Synergy too. The hardware is a lot better then even my old machine (Tells you how long it's been since I've updated my hardware) And for the price, I can't argue that much.
From there, it's been a weak of tweaking, trials and fumbles. I got a 3-box set up going. 1 Priest, 2 Mages. I'm delighted by how efficient they are together. I've gotten them to level 11 so far. Since level 5 it's been all wanding though. Since that doesn't take power and it's great DPS for this level range. I'm still playing a lot around with Add-On's and Macros. I fumbled trying to make a series of /assist + /cast macros. So I'm currently going to stick with my /follow + /assist macro and live with that.
For inexpensive hardware, it runs pretty smoothly. I had no problems installing the OS, knock on wood. The DVD drive runs like a champ, the video card runs 2 clients pretty damn smoothly. I can't argue much at all with the system. It's been a tad slow going though. During the week I had limited play time. The weekend, i barely had 2-4 hours with of game total. It's just been a really busy week for me, so I'm still just scraping the surface of multi-boxing. I hope to get more done soon. Wish me luck!
