  1. I am in the market for a new rig, does anyone have any experience with these guys?

    Thanks

    I always build my own. Pretty simple to do.
     
  3. Don't have the time or the knowledge to build my own, just want a complete system that works well out of the box.

    I bought a nice trading system from them in January of this year. It works perfectly. Very nice system. Stable. I don't use it for anything else except trading. For other stuff I use my Macbook Pro.

    You might want to compare the pricing with this company:
    http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/category/gaming-pcs/
    Yes they call them "gaming" computers but they have the same components as a "trading computer". I don't know which system you are looking at but Cyberpower has systems starting well below what Falcon is asking.
     
  6. Those do look good. Two years ago I got a Dell dual quad core server off lease on ebay for $600. With 8 cores and server memory, it has plenty of power and has never crashed. True the memory access is slower than a gaming computer, but probably the main reason that it does not crash. With IQ feed, I was tracking 500 symbols with my algos with decent speed (not high frequency).

    Why bother replying? OP has given ZERO details on requirements other than "need a new Rig" and anyone have experience with "my computer building company"?

    Smells of spam or inexperience...

    These threads are getting old...

    His question was a general one ( see below). He asked about the company not about a specific unit. You are trying too hard....

  10. New on ET, but been trading for over 20 years and my intention was solely to try to get some feedback on these guys. I trade futures and run very complex formulas in Tradestation on a ton of different charts and radar screens. I currently use a powerful laptop with dual screens that often freezes, which is what I am trying to resolve. I am also looking to have 4 screens as I need more real estate. This is not spam or trolling, just looking for constructive feedback.
