Save $500 on Dell T5820 Workstation... Warranty!

My point is that today one can build a very capable machine (for gaming or video editing) around 500 bucks assuming you have some spare parts like case monitors etc.

Now let me go to a second point here which is probably the most important.

You don't need an expensive machine to trade. If you think that more monitors or a faster cpu will make you trade better you are fooling yourself? It sounds obvious but a lot of people really believe that tools and trading goes hand and hand. In the trading world it does not work this way.

You can get Dell T3610's off of eBay for $150-200. Many are coming off of a 4 year warranty. Perfect working order, well-maintained and you'll find some with graphics cards supporting 3 monitors. They can last another 4-5 years easy. Plenty fast for trading. They'll come with Windows10 Pro. Make an image copy of the hard drive, ditch it, transfer to an SSD. Done.

The T3600s are 2 generations back. More like about 6 years old... still worth $200, however.

(1 generation back = T5810. Current generation = T5820... very much a new design... and a BIG upgrade to the 5810.)
 
Yup, T5820 is a pretty good platform. Will last another 10 years easily.

Most folks who never experienced the differences between real workstation engineering and consumer or U-Build stuff will not appreciate it though.

The T5820 is certainly evolutionary if not revolutionary. Many more will be made like it in the future.
