New system for business

First of all, thanks to everyone on this site - it has helped tremendously.



Approximate Purchase Date: this week or weekend

Budget Range: 1500-2000+if the need arises, as I am expensing it through my Biz), if can get rebates to lower the price, that’s great

System Usage from Most to Least Important: running custom Financial software with multiple windows, on dual 21” LCD monitors, quite graphical intense and speed is important due to real-time graphing of dozens of stocks (I will be adding 2 additional monitors in the spring of 2011 for a total of 4), surfing the net with dozens of tabs open, running both IE and firefox simultaneously, while multi-tasking with other programs like CS5 or MS Office, HD video editing, movie/music ripping, music, email,etc

Parts Not Required: None. Need everything

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: will be shopping at tigerdirect as I will be going to the actual store and not ordering online.

Country of Origin: Toronto, Canada

Parts Preferences: Good stuff, which I think I've selected below. I don't have any brand loyalties really. But I do want an Intel CPU i7 1366 - see below

Overclocking: Probably not

SLI or Crossfire: Yes SLI, unless Crossfire is recommended

Monitor Resolution: Dual 1920 x 1080 - 1920x1200 (all depends how it looks on dual 21”)

Additional Comments: Don't need anything fancy like LEDs or whatever, just want speed, reliability, upgradeability. And to run as cool as possible as I will be running 3 of these systems in my home office.
