Heya Typhon,
I am actually deciding on the same thing at this time, only I am deciding whether I want to start new sites or add them into my existing. I run UltimateMetal.com and have a few "sister sites" I want to start up, such as UltimateHardRock, UltimateProg, etc. - I was going to make them individual sites, but the only reason I haven't yet is I know a lot of the users will use multiple sites, and I was trying to find a way they could have a global user account across all the sites. Only thing I have seen is major hacking to accomplish that, a road I won't go down.
If you look at my Metal site, I already have a lot of individual forums (bands) - if I had the same amount for Hard Rock, Prog, this thing would be more of a monster than it already is. Wasn't sure what I would do from a server standpoint. Currently I just upgraded to quad core Xeon, 4 GB ram, 2 73 GB 15k drives (one for MySQL). Not sure how far that will take me.
