I'm guessing it will mostly be used for online poker?

If so, would you be interested in a laptop plus an additional monitor, or did you definitely want a desktop?

Im not the best person in the world to ask about PCs, but if you want a badass machine thats a piece of piss to set up, get an all in one PC:

I have this un:

literally just straight out of the box, you can probably hook your existing monitor to it too

Failing that, get James Atkin to make you a ridic grinder PC complete with pee bottle.

Wait a minute, you're loaded, pay your butler to go and fetch one for you and build it up

Hey Julian, I cant remember what you ended up doing from your last thread about getting multiple monitors. If you already have them then it's relatively easy to buy a pretty powerful quasi gaming station which will hook straight up to your current monitors and do a good job.

I'd expect to spend between 4-800 depending on exactly what you want.


you can easily spend less but you can easily have lots of slow down problems if you do anything processor heavy.

Cube 247 has some good multiscreen setups, think a few on here have them.
