Is this end of month reporting time? At this price, the computer is selling for less than $200. Can Walmart beat that? http://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/features.aspx/outrageous_desktops?c=us&cs=04&l=en&s=bsd
Those 3000's suck. Onboard video that completely slows the machine down when running the resolutions most traders run there machines at. For internet use, or most office type apps, should be ok, but not intened for use by traders.
I'm running a 3000 (3ghz HT) with 3 monitors (pci Matrox G450) with no problems at all on power/speed. More than what I need. The darn fan gets loud though when my office is warm. Whisper quiet when office is cool.
I just bought a DELL 3000 back in March and have had no problems running any trading applications and up to 10-12 windows at a time, but yea that damn fan sounds like a 747 taking off in the room sometimes.
My sister wants a new system so I priced one for her.
