Pictures of your trading stations

  1. Before buying I reviewed lots of posts on this site so I thought I'd show the computer I ended up with.

    Here’s the new trading computer; XPS 720 with four monitors. The details are:

    Dell XPS 720, IntelCore2 Processor Q6600 (2.4 Ghz, 1066 FSB)
    Quad Core Technology and 8 MB cache
    4 GB RAM at 800 MHz
    4 Widescreen E207FP 20” Flat Panel Displays
    Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers, Tower
    4-monitor stand—mounts the screens in a rectangle
    4-year warranty and technical support
    TV tuner card
    Dual drives—CD/CDRW/DVD/DVDRW
    Windows XP Operating System-I did not want Vista
    Microsoft Office and other Software

    Operating trouble-free so far, tech support is great, apparently the higher end machines are supported out of Canada although with billing stuff I had to talk to an uninformed foreign person.

    Wanted to receive a price off of HP and Gateway but both would not sell a computer without Vista installed--I wanted XP. I also received a corporate discount which was only available through Dell so they were the only realistic choice for me. Previous computer was a Gateway which can serve as a back-up now.

    The four monitors are excellent, a tv on in one screen, Internet in others, Word or Excel file in another. The multiple screens eliminate having to click Windows up and down from the bottom of the single screen. I also like to compare info and charts side by side. Was impressed with it playing a video clip at the same time the tv remains on.

    One thing a super fast computer will definitely allow a trader to do is—to lose money even faster. :D
