Against the rules to try Multi-Boxing Trials?

Howdy, soo, I work as an IT Specialist, and one of our labs has, wait for it, 120 computers meant for graphic design, top of the line hardware. I work the night shift, and I get my one-hour lunch break for a lunch that takes me about 5 minutes to eat, while using the computer.
Last night, as I played WoW for the remainder of my lunch break, I looked up from my laptop at all the computers around me.
I thought, WoW.. imagine playing 121 characters at once.
The only problem is, there's no way I'm going to pay $2420 just to try it out.
Would it be against Blizzard's EULA and ToS and the rest of the legal mumbo jumbo to to create 121 trial accounts?

I'm actually going to say that this is probably not a good idea =/.

While it's fun to push the limits and see what is possible, this many characters active and performing actions simultaneously could cause performance issues both for player's systems and the realm, and thus might constitute zone disruption.

With that in mind, it's probably best to keep experimentation closer to a reasonable level =).
