I custom built mine last summer. Used an AMD athlon chip (instead of pentium), and the rest was standard.
Minimum for a multitabling poker addict [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
- Pentium 4 or AMD athlon 64 3000+ processor
- video card with dual outputs, preferrably DVI but VGA is OK.
- 1GB+ ram
- two lcd monitors with 1600x1200 resolution (dell 2001fp is a good/cheap choice)
This is the bare minimum for a good fast poker machine. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I can PM you my setup in more detail if you are interested in the custom setup. Factory made PCs are generally cheaper but you get less flexibility. I learned about most of this stuff on
