What is good resource in the U.S. to get a slightly customized tower built. I'm in southeast Delaware. I need a computer that will support multiple monitors (without using a USB connection) DELL is 12,000 miles away. Is there nobody closer who can build computers ?? I thought we were in the Age of High Tech.
Any modern computer with at least 2x, PCIE x16 slots will work for you. To run multi-monitor, you need a proper video card. Lots of 2-port and several 4-port cards available. Personally I like Nvidia Quadro Line, but AMD has some which are OK too. (The computer you have now may be perfectly adequate for trading... and all you may need is a new video card.) You can always buy a Dell workstation... like "Precision T5820"... one from their outlet store may be around $900... more if you want higher performance. I'm highly in favor of going the "workstation route". (I recently bought a Precision T5810 for $72 on eBay to replace one that had the mobo go bad. The $72 computer runs 4 monitors just fine with a Quadro P620 video card. Replacement version for that card is T600.) I also recently bought a refurbished Dell Precision 7520 laptop. Precision is Dell's best quality line of computers, IMV. I've had many with minimal failures of any kind. FWIW...
Thanks Scat. I did order a new DELL XPS 4 months ago. Supposedly it supports up to 4 monitors. Both monitors ran for 3 months. Now one screen is dead. Dell support has become long on apologies, short on solutions. (although I have to suspect Windows 11 architecture is involved) Some of my apps (File Explorer) are launching on the dead screen. And I haven't figured out a way to move them to the monitor that is working. This is what car guys call a "gearbox of neutral" Cool you know so much about hardware. I don't. Can you please suggest a URL? Many thanks. CB
The reason that I suspect Windows 11 is because, along with losing connection to one monitor, I have had constant problems with the sound card. It keeps getting corrupted. I have to keep uninstalling/installing. My guess it's a registry problem...
Sorry ... I have a copy of the receipt in a DELL folder. What's in this build. But I can't navigate to it, because my file explorer is launching on the screen that is dead.
