Hi Everyone,

I've been trolling the forums for a while now and am ready to give this a go. My first question is one about hardware. I have Apple computers both due to my work and personal choice. The one constant so far is that everyone seems to be using Windows machines. Here is what I am considering: I have a couple setup choices. 1) Using a single tower, Mac Pro w/ 2 x 3.0 GHz Dual-core Intel Xeon processors or 2) using 3 iMacs, all w/ Intel Core 2 Duo processors between 2.0 and 2.4 GHz. I can (and have) ran Windows on several of the Macs at work for some specific rendering software and for our 3-D modeler/prototyper. Windows will function natively (not emulated) and flawlessly on these machines.

However, being Apple hardware, PS2 for keyboard/mice/KVM will not be an option (not sure if PS2 is even needed yet, still researching the forums.)

Another option, although less desirable since I already own these machines, is to purchase/build a new beefy quad core Windows box.

My 5Boxing plan is to run w/ either 5 Shaman or 4 Shaman and a Prot Paladin. I already have a very well geared lvl 70 Prot Pally and a lvl 63 Shaman on separate accts. I plan to carebear up the 4 new shaman to match the higher level one and then 5box them on up or perhaps play musical shaman and rotate each one out per instance.

Thanks for any suggestions and advice.
