Hello and thanks in advance! My household has one computer and my boyfriend and I would like to try playing World of Warcraft together. However, we have tried as many cheap solutions as possible (trying to figure out a virtual desktop to allow two players, two mice, etc... ).. and are faced with the fact that we HAVE to buy another PC in order to do this.
Our problem? We have about $400 to spend on an additional monitor (including a VERY cheap monitor.)
We do not have enough spare parts to make a computer, so that's pretty much out of the question. The spare parts that I do have are very old and I don't know if half of them work because of a lightning strike that caused me to buy this PC last year.
Ebay is a good idea, but every time we bid on anything... we get outbid at the last moment! Grrr :).
Does anyone have any ideas for making or purchasing a cheap computer just capable of doing the basics and playing WoW? Any help would be great!!

Playing WOW on one PC.. that PC must be a power gaming unit. It's not something that can be done without taxing the cpu.
You really need to get a decent PC otherwise you might not enjoy the game.
Review the requirements here -- http://www.blizzard.com/wow/faq/faq_tech.shtml
And its always better to go beyond the basic requirements.
Good luck.

Impossible!!! Two keyboards / mice to one PC, nope.
WOW is a hardware hog. You will need two complete PCs with monitors that meet WOW's minimum hardware specs.
Best advice: Save your money. Online Gaming is a very expensive pastime and there are virtually no shortcuts.
