Multiboxing Rig

Deggers · 09/15/2011, 21:57

I have a sexy alienware laptop that is capable of either running 1 instance @1080 maxed or 4 instances on the minimums but im worried about cooking it over long use.

I want to build myself a cheapish desktop to do the hard work (botting) for me so i can just run my main on the laptop.

Looking to run 3-4 instances of the game.

My question to other multiboxers out there. What spec do you use? Im not looking for an unholy *** of a pc, just something that will run them without getting stuck in lag city.

set ur max budget first and go from there

Budget is around 600-700 £

ur going to want to invest as much as you can of that in a good video card and CPU.
If you plan on building it yourself, you should use newegg.com and read the extensive reviews posted by the consumers. even if you don't plan on building it yourself, go to newegg and look @ the cpus and video cards and sort by best rating and do some reading to determine whats the best bang for your buck - this will give you a sense of what you want. there are about 8-9 pieces of hardware you need to build your own: cpu, video card, motherboard, ram, hard drive, case, power supply, cd drive - try to ballpark the cost of each piece on newegg. with your budget, you should be able to build a reasonably good gaming rig. I also strongly suggest you buy a power supply larger than what you will need (750W should be plenty for a rig with a single video card + lots of room to upgrade)

Pretty sure he's craft botting... And if not, there are also DoW/DoM grind bots out there also.

i craft bot 2 accounts with a Q6600 @ stock and EVGA 570 GTX SC

fgm is correct, I dont ~play~ by hand all three accounts, but rather supervise their automated progression. I just wanted to give the OP and idea of specifically what cheaper hardware can meet his requirements.

just buy any simple dekstop.. as long as u multibox minimized its np.. got running 10accs while playing one maxed.. aslong as i minimize the others it works like a charm..

I'm curious how people are Multiboxing. I start to R0 on the character in the background when I do it
