Well, I dualbox, so the 26€ (donno what the exchange rate for dollar is right now) don't hurt that much. The monthly fee is not the problem, the hardware is (at least in europe). I always marvel at the cost of your dualboxing machines. You can raise the price by 50-100%, then you have the european price for a comparable machine.
My PC was not the latest one, when I started playing WoW, but it did the trick and most of the time I could even leave the line of sight set to medium or far. Being an university student and living on the rather slim amount of 500€ a month kinda makes it impossible to dualbox TBC.
My master box is my PC with roughly 2 GHz, 1GB RAM and a Radeon 9600. My slave box is my laptop with some pentium mobile, 512MB RAM and shared memory graphics chip. Dualboxing the "old world" with graphical settings set to low on the laptop and medium on the PC worked out pretty well, though it also was the reason I would never be able to use keyboard broadcasting. But now I even have to set the PC to low graphics to be able to run around shattrath with more than 10 frames per second. Not to mention graphically heavy areas like Nagrand. The reason is simple: Blizzard basically increased the polygon count in most of Burning Crusade by up to 25%. "Rounder" weapons, asymetrical armor, "prettier" mobs and landscapes - most people were thrilled (well, I was too of course), I was horrified.
So I guess my dualboxing dies right there.
