You still don't get it. IT WAS THE POLITICIANS AND A SMALL NUMBER OF CORPORATE DECISION MAKERS. 0.00001%, or so, of the Boomers did that... so you disdain the entire generation? (Funny how I never heard later generations complain about getting to buy cheaper goods which were made overseas...)...

Ditto. Using a workstation for trading is an excellent idea. Better still, getting it at a good price. Hence, buying used. If someone is worried about warranty, they can buy a 1 or 2 year warranty from Square Trade.... still save $500, or more while giving up nothing in capability or...

Might be... if you're considering running "1st person shooter game on four, 4K monitor array"... where every pixel on every screen gets refreshed 120 times per second. Not the case with a trading rig.

Well, who knows. If the news was out before the market was open, the "overnight players" had that (along with the jobs numbers) and were selling into the opening. Then, it all changed. 1st I heard of it was shortly after the market open when the market reversed the decline and took off to the...

I didn't "derail" a damned thing. I merely called out your BS. No worries, Buckeroo. It's obvious you've got nothing to say of value or importance, so I'm putting you ON IGNORE!! Suggest you do the same for me.

"Case closed"... TALKING OUT YOUR ASS YET AGAIN!! I don't like to put posters "on ignore" for other than Anti-America Lefty/Communist posts in the Politics forum... buy damn, you're coming close.

Initial response to that was on the downside. Market popped upon later news of Buffett's Apple buy.

Au Contraire. I built one myself just for the experiencem but never inteded to use it in trading. Didn't save much money. Wasn't worth the effort. Had issues. BIY for a trading rig is completely unecessary and devoid of financial or functional value*. So... I pass the results of that info...

I You got an issue with me? Show me where I've been wrong, and I'll admit to it. Otherwise, UP YOURS, SMARTASS!! My "attitude" is about those who post who "don't know they ass from a hole in the ground", yet pontificatE as though they do. A noob seeking constructive information is not...

Apparently. You appear to be oblivious to fact.

Does that mean, "you don't get the rationale?"

Not kidding at all. You don't know that? If not, maybe you should just STFU when it comes to offering hardware advice. (Jeez... you've already made a fool of yourself... maybe you should cut your losses and keep quiet... or maybe get informed before you flap your gums.)

Not true. In Dell Precision models, ambient air is drawn across the CPU heatsink. (Lesser models, not recommeded for trading, may have a fan mounted on the CPU. That's never the best cooling solution.) So... what's your deal? You've knocked Dell TWICE in this thread.... and been full of...

Really? That's all it takes? We'll have to see whether or not this snaps the market out of its recent funk or is just another bearish market knee-jerk bounce.

You should consider how much you're going to run concurrently. "Windows multi-tasking" is a great thing, but it doesn't have infinite capability. (I don't run nearly as much as you say you're going to, and I use 2 computers for trading set-up... spread the task load, so to speak.)

"Sell in May and go away" is a notion for theme players. Doesn't apply to traders.

Probably. Every trader strives to be one of those.

And I... lonnnnng time computer user for trading.... recommend NOT building your own for trading, (If you want to BIY just for the thrill of it, do it for a recreational use computer.)... especially if using more than one machine. Workstations preferred for trading.... Dell, HP, Lenovo... take...

Overly generalized and innacurate, misleading. 1. All computers gather dust. Blow them out twice a year. 2. All fans become noisy evenually. Replace when they do. 3. "Rust in Dells"? I've had Dell Precisions for years and have never seen it. What did you do, dump a coke in yours and...

Wrong on YOU, dude. The ad is for refurbished. (Workstations often run 10 years or more. Those off-lease ones are likely 3-years in service.) That one is 6-core, passmark ~12700.) Anybody's system will "handle four, 4k monitors" with the proper video card.
