Profit per character is still the same as it would be running 1 guy with other people. That said, you can do them whenever you want without waiting for other scrubs to form up, which is an advantage.
I am not so sure about the theory that profit would be the same...

Instead of 10 accounts.... you could probably just use the cash to buy plex and have the isk without the work?
I believe the strategy behind multiboxing is to quickly get out of paying sub with cash, and produce enough to plex all the accounts, and not have to pay for the game anymore.
Obviosuly, as CCP authorizes this, this may not be very common to reach that goal with multiboxing, else they would ban it in a heartbeat... I'd still be curious to see the numbers.

I have a Xeon E3-1275v3 quad core "desktop" and it only uses about 40% CPU with 6 accounts active.
Any modern desktop CPU will be fine if you have 16GB of RAM or more. Figure about 1GB per client, assuming you're in a relatively mellow area. If all machines are part of a large battle with many players on grid, you'll need a bit more horsepower. |

I moved to using a desktop. So pc is highlighted recommended I'm talking it that u had top notch lts Many people thought I was insane for paying exorbitant amounts for premium gaming laptops. Looking back, so do I. Laptops just don't have enough heat dissipation, and they are howling noisy when they try (and still fail). Wow. .. Thanks for this, did u switch to pc? I now have a gaming desktop, and a non-gaming laptop that I use for web surfing & watching movies when away from the desktop. EDIT: I also cooked the internal power supply, and an external power brick, on one of the laptops too. I also had premium on-site-repair warranties, and wrote-off both laptops when they finally failed out of warranty. The on-site repairman indicated that replacement parts were often refurbished, which was out of his control, and they were often not as durable; he also admitted he saw a lot of similar heat-related failures.

I would suggest going at minimum with 256 MB of graphics memory and 1 GB of RAM per client. CPU is not too relevant as EVE is not that demanding in that regard but nevertheless at least a dualcore would be good idea, quad-core should have no problems dragging along approx 10 EVE clients.
Another aspect I would look into is SSD - when the number of clients increases having EVE on SSD can substantially lower the loading time after jumps - especially if you are running with lowi(sh) amounts of RAM.
EVE is a 1 Hz game about spreadsheets in space so it is kinda playable (but ofc not pleasant) as long as you get 2-3 fps or so. I would aim at least at 12 fps or so - which is pretty ok although obviously choppy.
So what hardware for 10 clients - I would suggest a desktop computer with a reasonably modern GFX card, both AMD and nVidia have 3+ GB of vRAM in their latest cards. For 10 clients 16 GB of RAM is reasonable as it would leave a little to spare. And I would suggest getting a reasonable quality SSD as well for the EVE to sit on. With operating system on the same SSD about 128 GB should do (if you put page file elsewhere) without operating system on SSD a 64 GB one would do.
