    Install spacers for the Mobo... My board is in the standard ATX format. The case supports multiple board sizes; I just have to look for the holes marked for ATX. <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1817908">

    Building My Trading Rig (A Documentary)

    You are correct that there are NOT a whole lot of applications for Vista, let alone for the 64 bit version. Even on applications that "claim" to support Vista, most of them are going through teething pains. If you ask me for recommendation, I would say XP for sure. The OS is stable, the...

    I will be using Vista 64 bit on this machine. I do not have a need for 8 GB right now. The only reason the thought of buying the memories now was because I want to have matching memories.

    The memory I picked are a preparation for OC. DDR2 PC2-6400/800MHz, CAS 4-4-4-12 2 x 2048 DIMM I was tempted to go 8GB, but decided to hold off to 4GB. The memory price will probably go lower by the time I need the full bank. <img...

    Yes, I have to get the rig going first. Then I have to make sure it can run stably... then I can think about OC. Can't wait though. ;-)

    Got this spare power supply. It is a basiq [sic] 500W unit, but should do for now. I only have one graphics card, one harddrive, and I am not OCing the rig yet. <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1816622">

    Intel Quad Core 2 Q6600 SLACR - $199 @ MicroCenter

    MultiCharts is particularly efficient with multi-cores... the more cores the merrier. MultiCharts can farm out each chart window to a core. If you have 4 chart windows open, each chart will have its own core to work with !!! You don't even need to OC the CPU to make MultiCharts sing.
