McBrain posted : Yeah, that's the site I was looking on. They state they only ship to the billing address verified with your credit card company. This would be an easy work around, considering I could just change my address with my bank to my APO address before ordering and change it back to my state-side address after.

I'll send them an email or something asking them if they ship to APO addresses, though. Since they seem to be a small business, surely I'll get a pretty quick response.

I just looked up that desk online. Doesn't seem like a bad gig for $350. I couldn't find on their site if they shipped to APO addresses though, do you know if they do?

I'm not sure but you order them from »www.mainperformancepc.com/ and the guys there are super helpful. Feels like a small business so it would be a quick and easy call (with no automation). You can also check Obutto out on Facebook and post to their page. The founder is on there fairly regularly and generally replies to folks and is thankful for feedback.

I think it was well worth the money and it was a breeze to setup. (Shipping (to PA) for me was another $150 but you're going to have that due to the weight). I took pics of WoW spanned across all three screens but generally play with it just in the middle screen and use the other two for research/tv/etc.

I haven't taken the time to figure out why WOW "locks up" or "crashes" when another program forces it to the background. I typically run wow full screen.
I'm using Titan panel to get the FPS/Bandwidth usage, because when I mouse over the "computer" on the wow menu bar I get 0mps for bandwidth. Certain things work fine in Linux, other things don't. I can mostly live with it.

I plan on getting a job early next year [a part time one], and I plan on upgrading my hardware. So hopefully, I can improve performance. The PC is also wifi connected, not wired. I'm not buying windows 8, so I'll be sticking with unbuntu. I just hope Nvidia has better drivers for linux when I get there.

*edit*
I should go to my windows PC and fire up wow and take a snap. Then post it here as well. But I think the FPS will be close to the linux box.

Re: WoW Battlestation Thread 2.0

Snakeoil posted : I don't do raids, I mostly solo.
I haven't really looked at the FPS, but the few times I do, it's below 20. I dunno if it's because of the drivers, or the slow rendering of the game. There are times I'll fly to an area and have to wait a few seconds [up to 10 or so] for that area to fully load.
But it does good enough for me,better then the windows box I have up stairs.
I think the reason why is because my windows box seems real sluggish after all the updates it's had to do. I don't know why windows slows down after a few hundred updates, but my ubuntu box doesn't seem bothered by it's updates.
If that makes any sense.

I see you are running Ubuntu. I have a HTPC (Zotac Zbox) that I was thinking of converting into a WoW box. How does WoW run on Ubuntu? What sort of FPS do you get in raids? My machine is one of the older Zboxes. I upgraded to 4gb DDR2 800 ram and added an SSD. I think its an intel ion 1.6 processor though.
