Andrew,

 

Since I made the warning about the double input a firmware update fixed it. When I get home this weekend I'll upload my icon set and hotkey file that I use with it. The Streamdeck is configured using a windows tool that allows you a lot of flexibility in how you configure it because each button is a tiny screen. It might even be more useful for you because you're streaming, and could set up actions to automatically post a notification when you buy or sell, for example. Might speed up your morning streaming.

 

Let me know if you have specific questions!

Here's my set up that I recently completed. I built the PC myself (first time) and I'm very happy with how it turned out. I was trading on a 6yr old Lenovo, Huge upgrade. I listed the stats below for the nerds who like that kind of stuff, lol. This build allows 6 monitors with a slot to add 3 more. I can also use the 2 usb ports to add monitors as well for a total of 11. Plenty of room to grow with this build. I should be good for the next decade.

 

5- 24" ASUS monitors surrounding a 32" LG in the middle.

 

MSI Z370 Gaming Motherboard

 

Intel i7-8700k Processor

 

1tb Samsung 850Pro SSD drive

 

Corsair TX650M power supply

 

Corsair Hydro H100i V2 Dual fan Radiator

 

2- MSI GeForce GT710 Video Cards

 

16gb of ram 3000MHz

Abiel....It's the one Andrew recommends.

 

EZM Deluxe Hex Monitor Mount Stand

 

It's rock solid. No issues at all with 6 monitors mounted to it.

Hi guys, I'm still buying some stuff to build my PC, and I really need a suggestion here.

 

Currently I've this ready to buy.

 

1)Intel Core i7-8700K Desktop Processor 6 Cores up to 4.7GHz Turbo Unlocked LGA1151 300 Series 95W BX80684i78700K

 

2)MSI Arsenal Gaming Intel Kaby Lake Z270M DDR4 HDMI USB 3 CrossFire ATX Motherboard (Z270 GAMING PLUS)

 

3)Samsung 250GB 970 EVO M2 Solid State Drive

 

4)Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz C15 Desktop Memory Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B3000C15)

 

5)Hitachi 2TB 7200RPM 64MB Cache SATA III 6.0Gb/s (Heavy Duty, 24/7) 3.5" Internal Desktop Hard Drive (For PC, Mac, CCTV DVR, RAID, NAS) (Certified Refurbished)

 

6)Cooler Master Vortex Plus - CPU Cooler with Aluminum Fins and 4 Direct Contact Heat Pipes (RR-VTPS-28PK-R1)

 

7)Corsair CX Series 450 Watt 80 Plus Bronze Certified Modular Power Supply (CP-9020101-NA)

 

8)ASUS Internal 24X SATA Optical Drive DRW-24B3ST/BLK/G (Black)

 

9)ASUS GeForce GTX 1080 8GB ROG STRIX Graphics Card (STRIX-GTX1080-A8G-GAMING)

 

10) x 6 Acer KA220HQ bi 21.5" Full HD (1920 x 1080) TN Monitor (HDMI & VGA port) or x6 ASUS VS248H-P 24" Full HD 1920x1080 2ms HDMI DVI VGA Back-lit LED Monitor

As far as I read, it won't be possible to connect 6 monitors to Geforce GTX 1080, will it be possible to do that somehow? Or I better buy another one? If I've to buy something else can you reccomened something? I'm also up to suggestions) it's my first time building pc, I've no big experience, but I did some research and I don't really know how good it's

 

I also thought about using maybe 4 instead of 6 screens but bigger ones, or 3, I don't know)

Current setup is a 40" 4k screen w/ 1920x1200 24" side monitor. Hockey pucks for stands (I have so many, I use them for everything). It's my engineering setup turned daytrader setup.


Also, a picture of desk cat.

My set up is still evolving. Primary monitor is a 43 inch LG 4K and to the left of it is a 27 inch Acer (2560 x 1440). These run off an Acer ROG gaming laptop. On the right I follow the BBT chat, scanners, news, etc. from my 2011 iMac 27 inch, with a 25 inch Dell (2560 x 1440) on top and another old Dell 22 inch monitor to the right.

I have my hotkeys programmed on this side keypad. ThinkorSwin doesn't allow you to have custom hotkeys like sell half, but you can customize the keystrokes for hotkey functions. So it works fine for me right now. I'll give DAS a shot once my speedtrader account gets set-up. It's taken forever, I've submitted the application three times already and no response. Once I get DAS, I will put that on the primary monitor and have TOS running on the iMAC for swing trades, options and charting.

Hi kitty!

Yes, it's both good and bad. I bought it for my CAD3d/art/programming workflow, but it's right at the crux of being too big and too small. I should have done a 43" for the proper pixel size (PPI). The 40" is way too hard to balance (hence why the desk is off the wall 6") the viewing distance. Too far and I can't read anything. Too close, I get bad color-shifting and have to shift my head a lot.

Considering trying out an LG 4k curved screen because of it. Just not sure how I'd take to it because the curve can cause lines to be warped. I wish they'd make a monitor that had the central portion flat and then curved the edges like \______/ (except not as severe on the edge, obviously).
