about to trade from home...

Quote from duard:

If you want to spend some money spend it on bullet-proof broadband because broadband is the weak link in all this besides the server on the other side.

A bargain P4 @ $500 + $900 for 4x (19 in monitors) + dual 2D dvi graphics cards @ $100 each($200) = $1,600 for a capable 4 monitor system, less if you use 2 monitors.

I've had a few boxes and the best advice is to set it up in a stripped stable configuration (get rid of all the excess crap software wise and/or turn it off) then don't f$#k with it and it'll run well forever.

Hardwire everything, tunnel everything and turn off any anti-virus stuff because you don't need it if you're tunneled and using that address only behind a hardware firewall.

Did I leave anything out guys?

Agree completely. Use the box for trading only, and turn off all the other crap. It runs faster, and will go forever (until obsolete software wise anyway). I have 2 pc's. 1 for trading only, and one for the shit that I'm doing now. Best way to go.
