The tower is going back Monday. It's apparently the CPU from what "mr. computer" says.

Ticks me off:mad: but what else can I do?

LEAPup, I'm sorry to hear this and I know how frustrating it can be. However, on a positive note, if this went wrong 3 months down the line instead of now, then it would disrupt your rhythm. I know you want to build this thing and get settled into the trading part.

There's nothing as painful as getting into a good trading rhythm and then having issues like this pop up. For me, it completely defocuses me!!!:mad:

Good luck.

Well we all need some contingency plan, especially those who trade for a living. That can be a second box, or an alternative venue to trade when the computer goes south. Can't let one box choke you. :) Keep the old one around just for that...

keep two laptops... an HP and a gateway nv55c i5 with additional monitor ( to right of desk in pic posted ), and an ipad.
 
Like a dumb ass, I put the new rig where my old T3500 used to be. This is my home system. If it was my office system, I'd be in a panic. lol

I have a couple of laptops at home, but don't trade with them. I CAN see where I'll be putting the old T3500 where I can use it if I have to send back the newer rig. Learning lessons...

We all hope we have "enough" backups when the time comes. One is better than none... having two is better than one.

Sometimes your backup source fails, too.... but of course you're not likely to know that it's failed until you need it. THEN what do you do? Better to have more than 1. (Years ago I had 4 backups of my market data... then corrupted them ALL with one stroke of a key... shit happens, like they say.)

I agree. My backup is a Macbook Pro attached to a 22" monitor. It get's the job done, but is a real pain as i constantly am swapping screens. No one said this was an easy profession :(
 
Scat you will be happy to know I still have an 8100 desktop laying around.
Although came a time nothing could run on it anymore as it was Me OS.
I changed the hdd and loaded xp to get more life out of it. Not much good for anything today, difficult to run anything but internet, but still there.
