    Build Your Own - Step by Step ( i7 2600k)

    I think you should shop for a motherboard first. Processor: for your need I recommend i5-2500k. Very nice processor at a lower price than i7-2600k. Because you want 4 monitors, with possibility of having 6, I think you should have a motherboard that supports at least 3 PCIe X16 slots...

    Fjitsu NH570 vedio output

    Well did you try to enable the third monitor? My gut feel is it may not work but it is easy enough to try.

    Laptop with multiple screens

    VGA splitter and HDMI splitter will project identical images on the additional monitor. I don't believe that's what the OP was asking. The OP was asking for each additional monitors displaying a different screen.

    I don't have any experience with Lightspeed so I don't know. But I don't think it is as much what software you use, but rather how you trade that matters. I would imagine that most trading apps would cache the price data on your own disk drive after receiving from the server over the...

    USB 3.0 Speed + Intel 320 SSD is early

    The USB enclosure is not working too well. Bit the bullet and bought the kid. Exactly what the package is: A plastic sheet, 4 screws and a cable. Actually there is a pair of metal mounting brackets and 4 tiny rubber things - for shock-absorption. Added back 500 GB of stoage to my laptop...

    Correction: Strike out the above. Use the saved money to send 1 case of Corona to tiki, 1 case of (whatever-he-likes) to Scataphagos, and 2 cases of Corona to Boli.

    Meant to type "Up-Arrow" "Down-Arrow" for zoom in/out.

    anyone use realtick

    I am not here to debate for/against RealTick. It is a user experience issue. There are other software vendors who seem to have done a better job. RealTick has the basic charting features. Basic, that's it. I do not want to make a dirty laundry list. But consider this in TradeStation...

    I agree with that. Probably drinking wine from a bowl designed for holding plenty of soup. Though some of these different power ratings don't seem to be that different in price. May be $50 or so, which is not a big deal to have his peace mind. I think the 1000W is over the top. But...

    anyone use realtick

    Yeah. That's exactly how I feel. RealTick's charting features suck. I use TradeStation for charts and RealTick for fast order executions. And then... TradeStation's charting features are great but their order placements and modifications suck.

    I myself don't want a water cooled gadget (more component, more failure)... if the water pipe leaks down the road... it's your computer... But ibuypower.com is giving out one to you. That's why I left it in there. It's your call. You can certainly take it out. 1000W is absolutely...

    In your CMOS setup, how is the boot priority set up?

    Build Your Own - Step by Step ( i7 2600k)

    Yeah. That's why I said if you get NVS 295 for $35 that's a really good deal. You know... for your purpose I think you will do fine with GeForce 8400 GS card ($19.99 new) x 4. Remember: you wanted to buy a Ferrari to drive to get groceries... :) If a Ferrari comes on a fire sale, sure...

    If you mix and match different models in the same series (e.g. 8400 8600 8800) usually it would work okay. If you mix them in a different series (e.g. 8400 with 6200) then I am not sure. In general it's not a good idea anyway.

    I have no direct experience with the Quadro NVS 295 cards. I know Scataphagos loves them. I think they are a higher grade product line then the GeForce line. Quadro is designed for graphics design and CAD processing. GeForce is more for gaming and general purpose. To me they don't affect me...

    Yes Jack. The amazon page may not mention it. The EVGA site has more details on the specifications on the card: http://www.evga.com/support/specs/default.asp?fam=19 Pick the link for "EVGA-512-P2-N738-LR" I have a mix of 512MB and 1GB onboard memory. The 1GB version costs higher, of...

    This motherboard should take 4 small PCIx X16 video cards fine. But it can't take 4 of the video cards like what you use though because yours have big cooling fans that take up the space of the next slot. :)

    LEAPup bought a higher priced motherboard to get 4 PCIe X16 slots. Should make the money worth and use 4 dual cards. :) I am an advocate in using 4 x dual head cards (inexpensive) than 2 x quad cards (expensive). 2 supporting reasons: 1. Lower cost in replacement if one goes out 2...

    Build Your Own - Step by Step ( i7 2600k)

    I had that happened to me a couple of times. Before I realized... On some of the monitors themselves, I had accidentally hit the "SOURCE" button (to select between analog (VGA) and digital (DVI) input) and the monitor is taking video signals from the port that is not connected. (So nothing...
