Best multi-monitor PC's for day trading?

AFAIK, you can't just buy any video card - it must be supported by the motherboard (e.g. you can't buy a cheap off the shelf cpu and buy a top of the line card). pls correct me if i'm wrong.

Generally... any new CPU and new video card you buy today will be compatible. There are likely only a few exceptions. (In the past, there have been exceptions... which the makers might have resolved.)

Normally anyone who is buying a cheap CPU isn't primarily interested in gaming and wouldn't benefit much from a "top of the line" video card. And even if such buyer is a gamer, the hardware has a 99% chance of being compatible anyway.

can't tell if you're joking...
what trading platforms are compatible with mac?

I am sure it was a joke. You cannot trade on a mac.
 
it doesn't matter..i would worry more about trading system(if you have any) than PC. i'm using old, cheap,home made dual core PC with 5 years old monitor for my daytrading(10-200 transactions each day). it's more than enough for me.
i can put one more cheap 10-15$ nvidia nvs card and have 4 monitors on same PC, but what for?
+1 on LED monitors..less heat,more efficient
 
Op, take a look through some of the threads here about multi monitor trading hardware. There are numerous threads on this topic.

Tikitrader even built a setup with pictures every step of the way.
