APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE:As soon as possible
BUDGET RANGE: 1600-2400 (not including monitors)
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT:For trading , running multiple spreadsheets, i also use multiple apps at same time( some of my apps suck up alot of system resources) , doing research online
I use 2 different apps for trading (Tradestation and CQG) , I also develop trading systems that at times can be doing tons of calculations at once.

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Tigerdirect.com or Newegg.com (it really doesnt make a difference to me)
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: USA
PARTS PREFERENCES:Intel CPU (was thinking about XEON W3520 or X5550 or core i7 920) , Asus or gigabyte Mobo(wanted eSATA if possible and some USB3.0 ports so i was thinking of GigaByte GA-X58A-UD5, 6GB DDR3 memory either 1333mhz or higher , 2x velociraptor 300Gb HD's, 2x Nvidia Quadro NVS 420's(need functionality for 8 monitors ) , i also need 1 optical drive, power supply (no preference) ,NO RAID
(someone told me to look into ?JBOD? No clue what that is)
I would like to stick with intel x58 chipset (unless someone thinks im off base)
*** These are all just parts i looked at based on research i did and on some recommendations that were made to me. Im open to anything but would like to stick with Intel CPU***
OVERCLOCKING:Maybe( have to find out how my trading apps run with this)
SLI OR CROSSFIRE:NOT Sure if i have any need for this??
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 4x(1280x1024) 4x(1920x1200)
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:No neon lights on case(NO Bling!!) , The QUIETER the better . I also have no clue about fans and liquid cooling or Hard drive cooling??? No clue about Hard Disk controllers either.
Would like to have extra slots on Mobo so i can add to system eventually.
