You should read through the dang 100 pages of the pinned thread: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=43661 Pictures of your trading stations. Any idea under the sun has already been posted, debated, and forgotten.

Do a search in this forum using "tripleheadtogo" and you should find some past discussions. I don't think much of that device. I keep things simple, and inexpensive. Multiple PCIeX16 slots. A few of the dual EGVA video cards (used to be about USD $40 each).

Thanks Scat! I figure that people can do all kinds of things with special software.

What is the rationale for running 12 monitors from a laptop? I don't think you are going to travel and mount up 12 monitors in a hotel room to trade. So the likely scenario is: you do all your trading on your laptop, so that when you go out for a coffee or do a short trip, everything is...

Unusual sound from hard drives are almost always mechanical. Vibration of some sort. Electronic parts either work or fail with a spark (typically capacitor or resistor). If you value your data and possible prevention from future headache of dealing with a down system, prepare for the...

Moore's Law: per wiki - Moore's law is the observation that, over the history of computing hardware, the number of transistors on integrated circuits doubles approximately every two years. The period often quoted as "18 months" is due to Intel executive David House, who predicted that period...

The above 3 pictures were taking after cleaning. Perhaps I should have taken some pictures when it was all dusted up!

Your picture (post dated 07-04-13 11:28 PM - my time)... has disappeared. Maybe you had opted to delete the attachment?

Reassembled everything together, attached all cables, tied things up, unit-tested all the fans. Back "almost" like new. ;)

Guted out everything from the case. Blew-clean everything with compressed air.

It appears that ET did not keep my picture attachments. Let me repost the picture gallery: Gallery: I installed a new Cooler Master Hyper N520 CPU cooler on top of the chip.

Reassembled everything together, attached all cables, tied things up, unit-tested all the fans. Back "almost" like new. ;) Compared to my original build... wow... 3 years it has been. Time flies! http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=195662&perpage=40&pagenumber=1

Thanks everybody for your input. Sorry I was mistaken. I did use some thermal glue when I first installed the Intel-provided heatsink. In short - my computer is back in business. No more "CPU overheating" error. (But the past few days have been much cooler too.) I got all 3 of my...

Thanks for the additional suggestions, guys! Hi mgookin: The netflix movie flickering... well, when I played a movie, I got the audio tracks but the images were mostly blanks (black) some some color blocks here and there. I played different movies on the same box, and got similar...

No. Not that anything I am aware of. Unless I contracted a virus and I didn't notice. I purposely have disabled Windows auto update. I normally don't reboot the box and I run it as long as I can. It is one of my workhorse computers for TradeStation. I checked the Task Manager before I...

Thanks for the quick reply, blah12345678. >> Probably an IRQ conflict between the 1-2 video card and the SIIG card. << I have this set up for over 2 years. Not a problem until yesterday. Again, all 9 monitors were working just fine until I rebooted. So something triggered it. The only...

Thanks everybody for the suggestions. Sorry I had forgotten to post an acknowledgement. And update: I have no idea what's going on. The trackball cursor drifting problem still persists. Sometimes it drifts up slowly. Sometimes it drifts up very fast. Sometimes it drifts DOWN! And...

This is an interesting little problem. On one of my computers, it normally supports 9 monitors. 6 monitors on 3 PCIeX16 dual VGA/DVI cards. And the 3 extra monitors by some SIIG USB-to-VGA Pro adapters. A strange thing happened yesterday. Everything was working okay - all 9 monitors...
