[I paid about $1600 for the four computers I bought]
I bought 4 Dell Insprion 531 Athlon 64 X2 duo 3800+ (2 GHz) boxes. Only change I made to base cofiguration was get the 128 MB GeForce 8300GS.
At 1280 x 1024 res in Shattrath I was getting ~30 FPS with just some minor chop while turning on an epic flying mount, settings mostly low. Other than that it handled the game great when I tested with my two main accounts on the test realm.
I wouldn't suggest ordering X-keys from EnableMart. They had the USB X-Keys for cheaper than PI Engineering, or anywhere else that happens to sell X-keys for that matter. So I had them special order the PS/2 version, took 2 weeks just to get the order finalized and they're finally shipped this past Monday so will finally be up and running 5-box style in a couple more days I hope.
Originally I was supposed to have saved about $30, but they didn't honor the same price as they charge for the USB models (which I figured might happen) but waiting two weeks for order processing definitely not worth the $10 I saved on shipping costs compared to ordering direct from PI.
Edit: Forgot to mention price per PC
