Check out executioner.com there is an example there of what they call "the ultimate" pc set-up for traders. It is put together by some vendor, Sam's computers--I think they call it. But I would go with Dell or Gateway when it came time to buy, because they offer good tech support and are known as the best. And yes, speed matters!

Here are some links for you. Dual monitors need a second video card. My advice go with dual 17" or 19's check with stores that have experience in this. also buy good equipment rather than cheapest. JMO here is a few links for you to check out. hope this is helpful to you. best regards, bigbuk rookiedaytrader.com abwatley.com phactor.com elitetrader.com

Check this thread: Subject 18946 Do some word searches, eg. dream; multi-monitor; bargain; network; or browse through the old post-headings. ZeusPaul also has a web-site that is an auxilliary to the thread: home.att.net Happy hunting, wily

First you don't need 2 computers. You can as the others said use 2 monitors on one computer. And yes level II screens are in my opinion the best live feed. I take it your not familiar with trading through a real nasdaq level II exchange? If you have used something like e-trade in the past then this does not compare at all. Most of the level II places use Townsends real tick for there software which has charting software in it. The best thing to do is start out slow and read as much as you can on this. If your not familiar with the different ECN's and how to read a level II screen you might get bitten pretty hard. And use the cable modem access if thats what you have. GK

Kosmo, Here are the things to look for: Speed, Memory, Reliability and ability to display as much information as you can comprehend. You do not need two computers. One will be enough. You also do not need two video cards for dual monitors. One Pentium II or III computer with enough memory and one specialty video card, running four 19" monitors is the way to go. Cable, xDSL, ISDN modems are the best for the money, depending on what is avialable in your area. Go to "The A Group" web site - theagroup.net Electronic trading solutions is their speciality. They were founded and run by a Daytrader and that is a great plus, when you are in need of support.

I would like some opinions to a SCSI system and the best internals to put into it. Are the new motherboards now ready for the fastest P3 733MHZ Chips sets using RDRAM. What is the fastest P3 XEON avail(is there a XWEON "Coppermine" avail yet..?, Should I just go with the best Dell has to offer...? Precision is it.

I think HP offer a financial computer. hp.com I have three flatscreens in Mind: A IBM 18" commerce.www.ibm.com. (is digital the way to go(I think it needs a different card..hpe there is a maker MATROX, Appalichienhttp://www.ttrc.com/appian_menu.html that suports Up to 4 flat screens that are digital) or should I just go analog..??? Re these Appalichaen cards the best I can buy that will support all of this ..? EIZO 18" eizo.com Sony's new Multiscan CPD-L181 ita.sel.sony.com ita.sel.sony.com Basically HELP!!! Remember this is a Ultimate Trade Station ONY and will be feeding either Frame Relay or DSL or both. It cannot crash so NT is a must. What is this new MS 2000 product...?
