May,
consider going to a local, small computer store
(yellow pages) many of these samll retail type places will build a
computer for you, using the components that you want; or that they recomend
themselves. this gives you ultimate flexibility.
you dont need a huge hardrive for instance.
these 20 gig drives are overkill and i believe they can slow the system
down.
you will want as much ram as you can afford
and a fast cpu.
4 mb video card per monitor is enough for
charting. more if you want to play computer games etc.
good cooling, extra fans and/or a large heatsink
(on the main cpu) is a good idea.
if you can get away from win 98, i would.
there are more stable platforms such as win 2000 or win nt.
a zip drive is recommended for backin up
files/programs.
you will want at least one usb port.
a multiple monitor video card is great for
trading, if you can afford it and the extra monitors. (i got my matrox
productiva g100 quad card on e-bay for $50 - new model cards can cost up to $700
and are more than one needs for just charting),
good luck.

thinking along this route too. Is there a way to check that what they
claim they put in, on the bill, is what the parts are inside the computer?
Am quite techno stupid and a friend has alerted that small company
sometimes don't put in what they claim and there is no labels of
each individual part inside the computer.
