H O -- check to see if you really want a 19". Either you will be far away from it or nearly blind. I use one at work for CAD but a 17" is most comfortable for all other apps there... and at home. I use 5 PCs,, the 19" is used for CAD only... TRY it first. Call MUEI or hit their site. They now have the 733 mhz available.. 600 is enough but go with 256K RAM! What other apps will you use it for? Spreadsheets etc? Most come with 13 gig, MUEI has 20 as standard on some of the heavier systems,,, I have 27 gig and may never be able use it all... a 3 1/2 floppy is nice or a LS120 instead,, but to really save big files such as photos a Sony DVD CD and a RW CD will take care of all storage and copy requirements (cannot copy DVD without a spec RW CD) all depends on the apps you plan on using,,,,, and software required,,, I have had the all and MUEI is all I buy now...

I sit too near the monitors to use a 19" myself I would never sit that close to a 19" TV, why would I want to sit that close to a 19" monitor. I just ordered a 17" Nokia. I'm probably going to add a Matrox G400 dual head to my system which will allow me to add my 15" NEC and the 17" to my NT system. A dual monitor setup is pretty cool. I tried it on Win98. Definately get a CDRW. They are pretty cheap these days and very handy. Minimum ram should be 128k. Trading systems are not the most CPU intensive uses around. You don't have to go top of the line. Look at using SCSI drives or 7200 rpm IDE drives using ATA 66.
