How high tech do you want to go?

My system I built cost $7.2k...

Boots up in 0.5 seconds, boots down in 0.3 seconds... loads photoshop CS5 in about 0.4 seconds, 32GB of DDR3 RAM @ 1866 Mhz, running of a i7 Quad Core Extreme 3.6Ghz Intel Processor, Mobo's FSB (Front Side Bus) runs at 1866 Mhz, 6 Hard drives set to Raid 0. 3 Readon ATI 1GB video cards. Thermaltake Liquid Cooler system, Thermaltake tower made out of Aluminum; weighs 80K... CPU heat is around 27 degrees, approx 62% cooler than most machines... 2000 WATT Power supply to...
If you are running Windows 7/Vista/XP, I find that hard to believe.
Besides, a rig like that should only cost about $2500 (if you build it yourself).

EDIT: On second thought. You may be right about the booting times. Didn't see the 32GB RAM there. Damn, what do you need that for? For
DNA folding?
Still it would still cost waaay less than 7.2k

look at your old posts, your behaviour was 95% similar like FX Babie....
and by the time you get stopped out, maybe that's the time EU would go up.

b'cos my Son dropped the dang thing in the friggin' toilet
don't add 2 and 2 to get 5 dude without knowing the facts! there's enough speculation in the markets as it is

I asked him why did you take the camera to the toilet, his reply "I wanted to show you that I did a #2 on my own". lol

Kids eh?

btw, I said I'm an electronics nut, not a photographic nut, that's an Asians craze; i've never been all that photogenic.
Still, it's hard to buy a phone these days without a camera.

And Asians LOVE their pictures.

Equity futures spiking up, suggesting that E/U will go up (HA!) too.

Do your local MM a favor: go LONG EU!


(May I suggest leaving a stop around the 1.33 area to be run... that would be nice!)

Help recapitalize your local TBTF bank!


Ahhh...! Keep those E/U longs commin' people.

It would nice if you put the next batch of stops around 3288; and again, the bank thanks you SO much!

The CPU cost $1700
DDR3 latency 5-5-5 1866 Mhz cost about $250 a set
ATI 1GB cards cost about $1300 each x 3
Powersupply cost over $400
Mobo cost $585
tower cost 280$
monitors cost $227 each x 6
HDD cost around $500 each x 6

so yeh, 2500.. ok

again, people assume that I bought it yesterday! LOL, my system doesn't need updating, its more powerful than most people's machines and is good for at least 10yrs.

This is what it looked like a few years or so ago. I found a video i made i put up on my facebook wall for my brother to see, just did a print screen while blurring out me face... and no, before ppl start ASSUMING again, it is me.. if you don't believe me... who cares! not my problem!

you're right, but I don't have a mobile phone; I don't need those ass holes monitoring my whereabouts at every whim... I did have one that was pre 2000 with a camera (untrackable), but the wifey decided to throw that at the wall when she went on a bender

Cool setup, but man it's weird seeing 4:3 monitors instead of widescreen...

Have you looked into mounts that let you stack some screens on top of each other?

DNA folding...lol

nah, for Photoshop CS5, Illustrator CS5, After Effects and Premier, camtasia video rendering, stuff like that running at the same time as 6 trading stations up and running and browsers... sucks up some ram i can tell ya

and nope, you gotta rememeber bud back a few years ago they were quite expensive, i've since upgraded to a faster CPU, the i7 series extreme gamer, top of the line edition, that was $1600 itself and that was just recently...

but as u know, as time goes by the prices drop drastically.

but i can assure you, and even bet that you wont be able to create a fast system like mine for $2.5k..

if you go to Apple.com and do a custom build, you're looking at $23,000 for the top of the line... my builds are like that and faster!

Now that we determined there is a computer faster than another one, the excitement of which, I could hardly contain myself, I did noticed that the Euro is coming back down as it should.

It seems to be running on a wing and a prayer. The notion that the EU should still be at such high levels still floors me. The fundamentals have been nothing talk, talk, talk. And any action has been disastrous. I would thought by now EUR/USD would be in the twenties heading for parity.

..... if you don't believe me... who cares! not my problem!
is this really you? :-P

which CPU u have bought for 1700$???
if you ask me you can have a system which is easily good enough for only this price with i7/8 or 16 gb ram 1 or 2 TB hdd and also a nice SDD...
maybe 2500 $ including also the screens...

Don't you think that the lone trader out there (must be many) finds all the back and forth on newswires a bit confusing?

I'm not saying that isn't a good environment for unbelievably extended "ratcheting" stop runs, but unless everyone were reading FF, how would you get a consensus?

no thanks. I'm a qualified microsoft engineer; well, i say that back when I was 21 or so, i've not taken to renew my certificate for over 10 years... no need, I know what i need to know to build a kick ass system.

and nah, don't need a crappy system like that you describe, it wont handle what I need to do to with it... once you get into video production, etc you'll understand time is money! what you describe will take ages to render a PS After Effects and Premier, even sound booth files, and 1 to 2 TB of Disk space is not enough either

I'm not sure that's possible. This is a place of bunny trails where posts go from your favorite recipe to motorcycles and back. Today's topic: computers. I am sure that is exciting for some.

Another reason for little consensus is we all have our own biases. I tend to short regardless the trend. That sometimes works against me but for the most part I am able to get my 2% for the day.

Last night I positioned at the fib level and twice I had the opportunity to get my 2-3% but I was so sure it would go to the low 32's I held on only to wake up to disaster. I didn't put any stops on so I positioned a couple more shorts and just got out where I made 6$. Oh well.

I say all that to say this; most here have their biases in play and would suggest that most here are longs. You can win either way.

Consensus: maybe. Can we agree that Angelina Jolie is smoking hot?

If we DID have a consensus that the EUR is toast (we definitely don't) E/U would probably have dived a ways and then stopped COLD.
