the 80GB disk is a VERY OLD disk. You pretty well have to replace it with a new one (~$100), then reload the OS (2hrs), add 1GB memory (~$50). After $850 and 2hrs of work, you still have a used machine.

that CS at IB should be fired for being too helpful. My "bank" has over 20 listings at SWIFT. The codes are used to make transfers to SPECIFIC departments at the bank. (eg. forex dept, investment banking subsidiary, private banking division, etc.) If your money got deposited into one of...

Ok... CPU is in place. This looks simple enough. I am leaving the fan to the last minute, because it is bulky and in the way of other component installations. <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1808838"> Intel has a video on how to install the CPU...

Thanks for your answers. That means I can/should specify a larger PSU, knowing that the reserve power does not cost me extra.

I have a question on the input side. Does a 500W PSU draw 500 watts of power? I know the output is less, maybe 75% of specified power rating. I am just wondering how much would a PSU draw. I need to calculate the supply need because I have other equipment in the room. Does the PSU draw...

Thanks. I am glad you are enjoying the thread. The most high end data crunching box I have spec/built was a DEC AlphaServer 4100, with 4 CPUs and 4 GB of memory. This was about 10 yrs ago, the CPUs were running at an unheard of 625MHz (don't laugh, Intel was at 266MHz then.) The...

More fans do not always equate to more air. In order to attain certain level of cooling, a specific volume of air must pass through the system to carry the heat out. More fans, or bigger diameter fans, simply reduce the speed the air travels through a narrow opening. Slower moving air...

You are right, the E8400 is an excellent CPU. I have debated this back and forth for weeks. The 45nm is more energy efficient, runs cooler, and faster. I like newer technology, so this should be the obvious choice. However the couple of programs I am running thrives on multi-core -- the...

I'm back... took a couple of ski days... I am recharged; ready to dive back into the project.

Why would you rely on their suggestion? Who's money is it anyway? Is it too much of a problem to call up your own bank to find out? or check the internet for listing? either your bank's website or SWIFT website?

The massive copper heat sink made me drool. I lost all my self control and surrendered my credit card. The Northbridge and Southbridge must be made out of toaster elements.

Thanks for the sell signal.

I know this is absurd; a $99 mobo should suffice. I am driving my nephew up the wall. Life is unfair; he thinks he's the one who should be getting this. I know how that feels. ;-)> <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1805584">

Good to know that the fans are quiet. Now I am tempted to get this box.

I knew this would be an overkill. ;-) Like I said in my first post, if you didn't know it, you would think I was building a gaming machine. What the heck, life is short. I have reached a point in my life where I have to stop dreaming my dreams and to start living them. If I were to...

People didn't changed to futures. There has always been 2 distinct groups of traders, a few people straddles both groups. It seems the equities group has more people with day jobs, while the futures group with more full time traders. The equities group tend to pick up and go. The futures...

Why? How? Can you be more specific? Yes, you are trading in hindsight -- a one bar hindsight. You never predict, you react. Grow up, there is no guarantees in life. There will always be a phase 1. A phase 2 will always follow a phase 1. A phase 3 will always follow a phase 2. You...

There you go, you said it, that's the money making method staring squarely at your eyes.
