I'm realtively new to Multi-Boxing. That's pretty clear. But recently I just discovered KeyClone and it's multiple display feature. The ability to have all 5 instances of an application running on screen as if they were full screen, thus enableing you to multi-box with just one computer instead of multiple cheeper computers.

Now, the advantages of this approach are pretty clear to me. 1 Master machine means less hardware purchases, and an over all much better master system that can run regular games better then 4 slave machines, each drawing a ton of power, driving your electric bills thru the roof.

The disadvantage is that you need to buy one killer machine. That could easly run you into the thousands of dollars. Blowing $4k on 1 machine isn't impossable these days and while it'll run 5 instances of WoW easly. It's also actually more expensive then buying 4 cheep machines and having 1 'decent' machine. Although the difference might be very slim.

Also, your multi-tasking your computer and that presents it's own problems. Plus, multiple machines means you can host your own multi-game party if you want. Having 5 machines in the house can be a lot of fun.

So what is the popular opinion these days? 1 Killer machine? 2-3 Decent machines, some running multiple accounts, or all separate machines?
