Building a computer: You may want to visit this thread. It's focus is closer to the project you have in mind. Subject 18946 Review some early posts. Some people discussed at length the building of a trading system -- both hardware and software. Hope this helps, PW.

carolyn, i would recommend a high end e-machine for your purposes. i'd get their most powerful amd chip. they probably offer a 17" monitor, but check the specs (i like .25 dpi). they also might sell you an oem ms office for about $100. if you want to know some auction places that where you can get better discounts on monitors or ms office 97, please pm me. good luck. ps - my p133 notebook surfs the net fine. about as fast as my pii 300 tower. doublecheck you processing power requirements b/c you can save big $$$ by going for a slower processor. after all, you will probably upgrade in 3 years. this can save you $100+ alone.
