Hey all! Quite new to this so any help is appreciated. Firstly I'm looking for a fast trading PC than can run 2/3 monitors with ease! PC desktop or laptop? Which is better My budget is no more than £800/$1000 Is that enough? Is it too much for just a basic trading home PC? I have no clue Any recommendations to custom pc's or links to would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks! Smith.
You can handle 16 monitors for 800£. You don't need too much power for a trading computer, unless you are going to do some crunching / programming / etc. The question is what monitor size and resolution do you want ? A good 4K monitor on 28" today costs around 500£. The stance to hold the screens is also very expensive so it depends whether you want to keep the screens on 1 row or 2 rows.
http://www.intel.co.uk/content/www/uk/en/nuc/overview.html will run two 4k monitors, is very small and quiet.
Does it have 2 DisplayPort1.2 ports ? I read it can support 4k @ 60hz but not sure how possible without DP1.2 Other than that it looks great, thanks for the link.
OK It can support 1x4k screen through Mini Display Port, not two. And I don't remember what I heard about mini DP a while back but not even sure it handles 4k@60hz properly. But for a back-office / simple desktop this rock.
Thanks all for the valid input! The mini PC is defiantly a contender, as for 4K resolution. I'm just not sure. Side note - here's a PC I found on eBay http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dell-Forex-...%3A5ec613bf1580a34fcc58f1a8fffb0832%7Ciid%3A2 Is it any good for that kind of money? Let me know? Thanks! Smith.
Well Scat, you got the energy to repeat yourself again? I was thinking for ~$1,000 US he should get the new intel i9 - 5.3 Ghz / 128gb RAM / 1,000Gb SSD Instead of wasting money on the obsolete 2D/3D LED & 4K Monitors, he should consider the new 360° surround view Holographic projection displays, with hand gesture interface. That would be my recommendation....
