    Default Windows 8 Tablets for MultiBoxing

    Is anybody using any of the newer tablets for MultiBoxing? I picked up a Dell Venue 11 Pro and really like it. The Atom cpu is no i5, but it does a pretty good job and WoW is very playable. I'm thinking about picking up another 3 and putting together a "tablet monitor stand" to hold all 4. I think this would make a pretty cool 5 boxing setup, using my primary game PC for 1 instance of WoW and the tablets for the rest. And if I wanted to 10 box, I could just add another 4 tablets and have my primary game PC run 2 instances, etc.

    Dell Venue 11 Pro (64GB) - $499

    Dumping $500 per instance worth of upgrades on your primary gaming rig will do the better job.

    If you wanna spend $2500 on tablets to 5 box just for the cool factor, go for it. Or you could build a proper desktop that supports everything, including these cool things called monitors, that could 10 box, for $1700.

    And 10 tables to 10 box... looking at $5000? That would build a BEAST rig that could 20 box.... 4960x, 64GB ram, 780 Ti's, and more.

    Unless he's at a business or college with tons of them just sitting around.
