@OmegaMan: 1 box running 36 WoW instances? No way. It’s far far cheaper to buy multiple machines than invest in a machine powerful enough to pull that off. 11 computers running 36 instances is still quite impressive if you ask me, they are probably all very well specced.

Lets see… $5711/year in subscription fees, plus electricity, plus broadband, plus computer hardware. Lets say he blows about $12k/year on his hobby.

Still cheaper than a wife.

*cough* virgin.

Is there a special fan system for that rig? I guess there would have to be to blow away all the body odor filled air away, because this guy obviously doesn’t use soap.

All I can say is that it is nice to know of somebody that may be less sane than I am.

Compared to running a big truck or van, a big bike, golf, high end sports fishing or hunting he may be right but why all the riggs? You can only play one at a time. Um maybe he needs them to run more than one character at time because the site can ID him?

Sheesh, why by redundant hardware? Most of the CPUs are sitting idle even playing…Why not get Virtual Server (free from Microsoft) and one fast box w/ lots of memory and setup multiple OS’s to run the item. Could have saved at least 1/2 as much.

No wonder our country doesn’t really make anything much anymore…most people are living in front of their opiate machine. It’s quite beautiful outdoors though, amazing resolution and the sound quality is impeccable.

I don’t understand why everyone assumes that he doesn’t work? I personally have never gotten into WoW, but I have friends that go home after work each weeknight and play WoW for the whole evening.
Anyways, how much worse is this then the person that has full HD cable with the movie stations and a Netflix account? That can easily be 4-5 thousand a year.

This guy needs to take up smoking. Cheaper, healthier, environmentally friendly, transportable and leaves time for other hobbies.

What i want to know is, How does he earn money, obviously he dosent work. And i say that that is very unfair.

Look at all those computers, Used for nothing but games.

There are many people out there that cant even afford one of those and im sure will make better use of em, than what this guy is doing with em.

More money than brains, and absolutely no life outside of the WOW.
