Falcon Trading Computer

I always build my own. Pretty simple to do.
Don't have the time or the knowledge to build my own, just want a complete system that works well out of the box.
I bought a nice trading system from them in January of this year. It works perfectly. Very nice system. Stable. I don't use it for anything else except trading. For other stuff I use my Macbook Pro.
You might want to compare the pricing with this company:

Yes they call them "gaming" computers but they have the same components as a "trading computer". I don't know which system you are looking at but Cyberpower has systems starting well below what Falcon is asking.

Those do look good. Two years ago I got a Dell dual quad core server off lease on ebay for $600. With 8 cores and server memory, it has plenty of power and has never crashed. True the memory access is slower than a gaming computer, but probably the main reason that it does not crash. With IQ feed, I was tracking 500 symbols with my algos with decent speed (not high frequency).
His question was a general one ( see below). He asked about the company not about a specific unit. You are trying too hard....
"I am in the market for a new rig, does anyone have any experience with these guys?
Thanks"
Buy a Thinkpad P50 or P70 Xeon processor laptop. 
Xeon's run cooler and more reliable than a standard i7 cpu.
that's what i currently have my eye on...when i decide to upgrade my current HP Elitebook 2011 laptop.
has a perfect 100% feedback rating on Amazon

Thinkpads are The original laptop -- it went to Space

New on ET, but been trading for over 20 years and my intention was solely to try to get some feedback on these guys. I trade futures and run very complex formulas in Tradestation on a ton of different charts and radar screens. I currently use a powerful laptop with dual screens that often freezes, which is what I am trying to resolve. I am also looking to have 4 screens as I need more real estate. This is not spam or trolling, just looking for constructive feedback.
