Looking for Help on I7 build .. will be first time building

[Trushot]

here is what I want to accomplish ... I multibox and am adding more accounts to LOTRO

I would like to build one of the following ...

Either one super gaming rig that will handle 5 instances of LOTRO to run 5 hunters to autofollow my MAIN char and computer
and use Keyclone

or

build 5 cheaper PCs and use a multicaster for keyboard / mouse

NOTE: I have never built a PC before and have very limited knowledge of the finer details of PCs but willing to learn ... I want to try building and am going to build something

I would prefer to use NEWEGG.

Questions...

1.) is there a machine even capable of being built that can handle that many instances of LOTRO (its pretty intense GPU wise )

2.) if there is such a machine can a more knowledgeable memebr build this system for me on newegg maybe 3 GPU's 12/24 megs ram?

3.) what would a more economical route be to using an I7 chip in order to build 5 identical boxes saving money where i can

with nvidia 260 ... the MB really would not even need ot be SLI capable since I would only need one GPU like
the 260 and an I7 chip and 6 megs of ram to run at full settings

How much are you willing to spend on this? I think it can be done, but its gonna be pricey.

well i am assuming 5 boxes will be a minimum of around 5 grand ...
so 3-5 grand i guess if needed ... I dont want overkill fluff only thing on these systems or system whichever way ill go is OS and LOTRO and anything needed to get them up and running

Ok well I don't really know much about keyclone or that stuff, but if the drivers and programming for that stuff works correctly, then this PC should be able to do it:

Then you probably want two 19x12 res displays for all your accounts in windowed mode for playing, SLI cannot support more than 2 displays so that is what you are stuck with, otherwise you have to go with separate computers.
