Trading Computer

Thanks for the input everybody. btw, I have an old card, I think an 8800gt? Is that worth trying or should I pick up a newer, low end card?

Switching to Verizon

Hello All, I'm an old guy, and all the different phone and plan options make my damm head spin. Planning to switch to Verizon from T-mobile, trying to figure out if I have to take one of their phones or if I can buy something better/cheaper aftermarket that will work with...

Build for Currency Trading

Thanks proggy123, i do have a laptop that i figured i would put my platform on, and of course i should be able to reach my broker by phone. I figured i will use cable and dsl as a backup. As far as RAID or offsite backup, i sort of shamefully put that too low on my priority list, but i will...

Build for Currency Trading

Thanks Vailr, I had not considered the usb port problem. So, I will need a case as well. The monitors have vga and DVI-D ports, I had presumed to use the DVI ports. In fact I may get a couple of better monitors, and I wonder what would be a good video card for my purpose. Something around...

Nokia lumia 521 $80, potentially $70 + tax free shipping

Apologies for the basic question: Can I use this phone as a straight up replacement for my prehistoric flip-phone, running on a T-mobile contract?

Samsung ML-2510 Laser Printer - 25ppm Monochrome Laser

I also picked up the ML2510 a couple of months ago on a similar deal. I do see a slight dimming of my desk lamp when it first warms up, but I can't put it on its own circuit just yet. Other than that I have been very pleased with the speed and quality of the machine. After about 1000 pages no...

MWAVE 8880gts 512 (g92); Props go to SD

You may want to check out the Crysis game more closely, from what I could see it only applies to the GTS640mb and the GTX. This is what I found on EVGA's website, although mwave does say that crysis comes with it. Perhaps mwave is throwing it in on their own? Might be worth a phone call to find...

4GB of HP branded DDR2 667Mhz memory for under one Benjamin!!!

Sent my rebate to Puerto Rico on 11/29, got my $200 check a few days ago. I was surprised by the quick response. By the way, they are Micron D9 chips, seemingly all from the same batch number except one.
