THAT is a cheap price! Btw, did any of you scroll down through the comments by other buyers, and click on the youtube link of the guy with the 6 monitor setup? These stands look to take up a good bit of desk space, but as long as they're sturdy, I'd be interested.

Btw, did anyone notice the ashtray overflowing with cig butts, and the roll of toilet paper on the desk?:confused: :D

Perhaps not "HOSED"... maybe just "hosed".

Is that "hosed" akin to being sprayed down with a fire hose, or being hosed as in a jailhouse "love scene?":eek: :D

Danged if I know... could even be as in "beaten with a rubber hose"..
 
I just received the refurbished 3500 from Dell outlet, I don't know who had it before but it looks brand new, not a mark on it. Now looking up on line how to add the memory.
 
Picked off a T3500 w/W3530 CPU for $629 from Dell Outlet. Not the best deal I ever got from them, but still about "$300 less than parts"... going to run XP on it, too.

(This is the kind of computer you noobs should be buying for a trading rig.)

:D

Sadly, I've had waaayy more than that. I cycle out some of my old stuff to keep things reasonably current. And this one has about twice the horsepower of the one it will replace.

Only twice? I thought we would shoot for 10x. LOL :D

I envy the i7-2600k. Only 1 year and made obsolete my i7-930 by 2x. I wonder what the Intel third generation would be like.

I could have bought one with Xeon W3690 for an additional $600... and that would have been a good deal too... but I'd never get to use all that power.
