looking at this rig as well


I want to be able to run 4 monitors from the tower out of the box, is this correct video card for what Im looking to do?

----
Dual ATI Fire GL V3600 256MB,Quad Monitor DVI Capable


?

correct??

The Fire GL V3600 is a dualhead card. You'd need 2 of them.

Unless you are going to run 30" monitors, a better choice would be the Nvidia Quadro NVS 290. You'll need 2 of them also, but the T3400 usually comes with one.. just add a 2nd 290.

Personally, I would not use the Fire GL, nor any video card with a fan in a trading rig if I could avoid it.
