Came home from a short beach trip, and see this thread gets better.:) I'm going to order the cards tonight, and do this myself for the experience. I may even take the tower over to my computer guy's store, and tell him to stand back:D and make sure I'm putting the cards in right.

Just got off the phone with mr. computer. lol Said he'd do the cards for free. That helps:) He wants to build systems for several others in my office, and maybe that's where the "free" card installation is coming from?:D

That's how I took our conversation on the phone. For 150, he needs to put the monitors on the stands, run the cables, and stop by everyday for the next week checking on the system. Lol! I'll probably try to do this myself. It doesn't sound like something I could screw up. And, agreed, I...

My computer "guru," former dell builder, and owner of a gaming cafe and repair business, told be that the 295 cards will be the way to go. He wasn't happy at all with the 8400 gs cards as he said he had bad experiences with them. He said they'd be perfect for my NON 3D neccesary charting/data...

I'm not finding the correct cards on ebay.:confused: I've found these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133275 but they're alot more than $35.:eek: This is probably closer...

4 star review on your cards. I'm sure they're good to go.:)

When I configured it as at the top of this page as posted by Bolimomo (Page 8 if you max your posts/page like I do), it was actually $6 less to click on what I did as recommended re: video cards. I'm adding four Nvidia 295 cards in the four available 2.0 16x slots. They're running $30-35 each on...

Greatly appreciate the advice! Btw, since it's close to my B-day (D-day:( ), will you skip sending me a bill for this?:) :D

I'm needing 1000 watts to run eight 22" monitors with the above setup I was helped with putting together? It sounds like it unless I plugged in the wrong information.:( :p from the link. Btw, I can go with this system above rig, 8 21.5" Asus 1920x1080 thin bezel monitors @ $129 each, plus...

As for the tower, here's what I built with some help:) Intel Z68 Core i5/i7 Configurator 1 x Case ( NZXT Gamma Gaming Case - Black ) 0 x Case Lighting ( None ) 0 x iBUYPOWER Labs - Noise Reduction ( None ) 0 x iBUYPOWER Labs - Internal Expansion ( None ) 1 x Processor ( Intel® Core™...

When my computer "guru" friend built my office setup, I almost put him on speed dial for the first three weeks! I guess in the words of slick willy Clinton, "I feel your pain."

I'm configuring it as bolimomo has above, and have my debit card out. Lol The only questions: Is 800 watts enough for eight 22" monitors plus TONS of studies I'll have running all at once? Do I need an SSD? I'm looking for speed, and efficiency. I observed a video clip of an SSD blowing...

Thanks Scat and Bolimomo! This looks to be just what the doctor ordered!:) I'm sure I can get my computer guy to add the four 295 cards pretty reasonably. Or, is this something I can do myself?

Absolutely agree!

Yes, then the money would be considered non-qualified, meaning he pays taxes on the gains each year. If it's been a few years since he's paid taxes, he's had no gains. Not a good track record if a trader...

+1000!

Your "Friend" will either pay the taxes on gains in an IRA later, or pay yearly in a non-qualified, individual account. There's no way around the taxes. Lol Have your friend check to see if he possibly converted it to a Roth.

Agreed! Thanks! Btw, are you going to build my rig since I guessed the daisy dukes right?:D Guess I'm giving away my age...:(:D :D

Yes, it's really a price thing in the end. I don't need a Ferrari when I don't 'really' need one due to the maintenance costs vs what I'm doing. I'd love to have one in computer form, but just don't need a Ferrari when a Corvette Z06 will stomp the average Ferrari at 1/3 of the cost, plus less...
