In Search of the Ideal Poker PC Setup

In case anybody else was waiting, the PartySecure Token is now available. It costs 300 PartyPoints for Palladium members to order it, which is equivalent to around U$40. I expect it to arrive in 1-2 weeks.

Every time you use your token to log in, it will generate a new unique password for you to use in addition to your regular password, making your account safer than ever from malicious attacks.

I'm thinking that a good PC set up for poker needs....

Screen area....

So now that 24" screens are under $200 I'm going to get an ATI 5750 or ATI 5770, since the new eyefinity lets you run 3 screens.

Anyone use a 27" monitor.....Costco has an HP that comes with a 27" monitor for $1400.....my 7 year old Dell is a little out of date, and this unit is looking very tempting.

Also, what do I need to run 2 monitors together?.....as I'm not very tech friendly.

You need a video card that has 2 outputs, one may be a vga (old standard d shell connector) and a HDMI connector.. Or they may both be HDMI.

I have got Dell W2709 or whatever model # it is. Bought it during one of the Dell day of deals for $599. I'm running that with a VGA cable right now and once I get my room setup the way I want to, probably will pick up a second one and run that off my video card's DVI input probably.

The mail carrier delivered the PartySecure token yesterday, so it took 21 days from when I ordered it. The process is simpler than what I read about PokerStars' RSA Security Token.
