Xzin - no offence. You are the man mate. I have serious respect for you and the playing skill. I personally can't wait to get into this all. I've seen your (hardware) setups and they are sick. I want want want :P

Suboptimal maybe - but we aren't all as lucky as you with that hardware to hand. What this gives you is that "dip in the water" to see what its like. I didn't know if you could do this, but now I know you can I'll be doing it this week. If it goes well I hope to get the hardware to match. No idea if I'll get to the same level as Xzin, but if it even gets me 50% of the way it will be a laugh.


Me? Well I've played since release, been a raid leader, worked to much for a guild, and my love of the game sort of vanished. Now tho - this is really getting my mind to wander at work.

Dangerous man Mr Xzin is. Be warned

Thanks to all who have gone before us, but remember the accessibility for everyone. Thats really really key...

(but agree hardware >> software. For EULA - tho is it really legal that crap.. and for response times and usability. Plus hardware on the desk always looks great) :P

Edit: typos and end.
You make several good points. I think I should clarify a bit. 5 on 1 computer will eventually be the way to go. For all sorts of reasons it is not right now. It gets you going though and for many (most) this is not a hobby they want to spend $10k or more on. I totally respect that. The software approach will get you what you want. It's a Honda Accord vs a Lexus 430. You don't need the Lexus to get from point A to point B. But damn if its not so much more safe, comfortable and more flexible in the Lexus.

So by saying it was sub optimal... yes it is not the best solution out there in my opinion. But you can get 90% of what I have for 10% of the cost with software or minimizing screens, etc. Just don't expect to be a 2700 team in Arenas either though. Does that help clarify a bit? This hobby is not cheap but given the amount of entertainment you get from it - the costs are staggeringly low compared to movies, bars, etc. Even 5 boxing. Most of the time anyway.

Anyway, my goal was not to dig on people who cannot afford but to point out there are some things you give up by not doing things a certain way. That's all.
