I recently came across these guys and found their systems top of the line. Take a look for yourself! http://www.windridertech.com/AffiliateWiz/aw.aspx?B=1&A=1&Task=Click
don't waste your money. you can get dell awesome 20 inch monitors onsale many times for $369 so you can get 8 for 3k or so vs there 4800. also get a dell e510 for $500 or so and add some video cards as they're awesome computers
big - my problem was that I don't like having to add extra stuff myself. I am not a computer techie and realize it's probably not hard for some people, but for me, I want to get a machine that is fully equipped when I get it, not after I fine tune it. So, for me, the extra money it may cost is well worth it, but you bring up a good point!
i like those powerful pc, not dear at all considerin' performance and apparent excellent built...the top of the range laptop is a knock out imo.
We'll just say these machines are pretty tight. Yes, not the cheapest, but when it comes to my trading machines, I only want the best!!
I wouldn't want to vouch for it, but you'll find some interesting information about running different trading software on dual cpu's / dual core cpu's: http://www.tradingcomputers.com/1cpu.html Such information is usually carefully hidden from view by both hardware AND software vendors. PS: I never would buy a PC with too much blue or purple light.
