New Trading Computer

  1. Slow Down Dr Savant...

    why the SCSI drives? EIDE ( at 1/5 the $$$) is probably going to be good enough for you -- with a gig of RAM, you won't be spinning the hard drive unless you're actually loading or saving files.

    I think that you may be taking this too much to heart -- the weekend with no trading has got you stir crazy.
    :p :p

    However, the computer enthusiast in me does like your choice of case. I have the Chieftec Dragon -- with 430 watts, very similar to the Antec. I built a PC for a friend using the Antec case.

    And PROPS to FPC on the monitor - the SAMSUNG 191T rocks

    And, you asked if you should go directly to Crucial -- by all means -- they ROCK, best service, best prices.

    Peace Bro,

  2. LOL...your probably right....I thought this would be fun....even FPC lightened up.....it was fun....thanks folks. And yes thanks FPC...

    Now lets get back to work.....I got to figure out how to get my charts on this other working Laptop tonight. Or I don't trade tomorrow.

    Also thanks to the PM's I got...except the PM calling me a loser from FPC :)

  4. Your funny FPC.

    I am a loser.


    But when I figured out how to cut the losses short and trade with a 1:3 ratio in the direction of the trend on the ES, was when even a loser like me could trade profitably.

    Many successful traders are losers.

    If you have problems with building your first box, post em. I've built a few, and can answer some problems (and others here probably know more than I). If nothing else, I can point ya to more technical forums.

  9. Thanks Tgregg...i will take you up on that.....This scsi p4 will be awesome with 2 Samsung 191T LCD's

    I went to best buy today to see what they look like....they are awesome. I especially like the thin frame around them (looks nice with 2 side by side) and the 3-way adjustable stand.

    Black is my favorite.....wish they has 1600x1200 res. but that okay....1280x1024 is cool.

    Hey I found some of these samsungs on EBAY with prices in the 400's is that a safe place to buy em'?

    FPC is a Bitch :)

  10. When I was at "BestBuy" today, I bought my first piece of the system committing me to this project!

    A linksys 4 port router. I plugged it in and it works! Took 5 minutes....is this a good omen?
