I'm with you on that.
What makes you think Puget Systems can outdo the Scatman / Ebay combine?

Local IT shops will build whatever you want.
Components will be from Asia (only manufacturers) but they will assemble in front of you.

I had a similar issue with dell. They ultimately replaced with a higher spec PC. This was 8 years ago

Lol, yeah... and the testing/burn-in will be up to you. Good luck with that!

Which?

Which?

Both, in the end it's always up to the end user... at least to some degree. But going to a local IT shop, for someone who has said:

But I prefer "turnkey".
I'm good at swing trading. Want to stick to that.

may not be wise. It'd really pay to stick with a more reputable source IMHO. I'm only slightly surprised he's not happy with Dell since I'm not a huge fan either. I haven't seen any exceptional requirements though so I suspect a decent workstation/server from Dell/HP/Lenovo/etc will be just fine.

In retrospect, I actually think getting a Lenovo type workstation might be smarter and easier than an HPE for @countryBoy641. I'm guessing a bunch of monitors will be attached to it; an enterprise style server will complicate matters a bit in that regard. In fact, he stated that here:

need a computer that will support multiple monitors

Going to a boutique like Puget will incur a premium which can likely be avoided.

Naturally, at then end of the day, it's obviously @countryBoy641's call. And, for what it's worth, it would probably pay to get a little extra I.T. training so that problems could be more easily fixed without constantly calling someone or buying a new machine.

But often there isn't a need to deliberate things much, something like this looks just fine; ymmv.

Go with Scat, get Steaks and Wine on the house.

That rig from Puget gonna cost ya.
What's your time horizon for "a while", 5 years?
Tell Scat that, he can spec you up if he's in the mood.
Then you can invest the savings in 2-inch Porterhouse steaks and a case of Robert Mondavi. Win - Win.

Puget is good... just unnecessarily expensive.

I never did it but the OP was looking for a more local solution.

Here's one, ready to go. You would need to get the proper miniDisplay Port connectors for your monitors however.... $296 with free shipping.
