Six 22" monitor setup

Yes....I was just making a joke because the box was called the "FX" by Gateway.

 

Good thing. The mobo looks a little thin.

MB = 4 PCIe slots running @8!

substitute with (3) cheaper (but more than adequate) vid cards = $1200.

add 24"-30" monitors!

 

If Bolimomo, scaphagatos, and the sun shine killer D ) tell you to do something when it comes to computers, do it.

I'm using this thread to build a setup that's six 24" monitors with an intel i7 processor, etc., that will save me over 40% vs. buying it from a "trading computer" store.

Guess I owe these guys a beer, or two?

 

I like Fat Tire!

 

It may be 10:30am Eastern on a Monday, but I could 'almost' go for six of these if they're ICE cold! Yum!

Have you had Fat Tire? Last I heard they didn't distribute to the East Coast.

1554 is good too.

 

Thanks for the kind words LEAPup. They made me flush. Scataphagos and Sunshine and a few others are the real experts.

But I will not refuse free beers! Ha! j/k.


What I found was the the hardware guys working at the stores are not up to par with what we need for trading. Most of the answers I heard when I asked questions about video cards or motherboards is: WHY do you need more than 2 monitors? (or more than 1 PCIe X16 slot)? Go figure.

 

Yes. Big Box "guys" and reps at Dell/HP are generally NOT up to speed on multi-video card rigs.

 

Did I say flush? I meant blush. See... I am drunk already. Thanks for your beers.
