    For several reasons, I have decided that ETFs are just not suitable for trading

    The larger the ETF, the less problems you will have. IMHO, only 20 or 30 ETFs can be traded efficiently, the rest are just fillers. Note the word: efficiently.

    WTB (4 qty) Intel Q9650 chips

    You are probably better off just buying them new. Retail is around $319 (newegg) and you can find them around $295 new (ebay). Even used they only discount to around $265 to $290. Not much savings.

    Need historical minute data - good source?

    The Price-data is fairly priced, so give it a try or download the samples. It may be a good match for your development. Again, I will say no data set is perfect. As you develop your system, you should test on multiple history feeds. Funny thing, you will never get the same results on any two...
