The Computer Every AutoCAD Designer Should Have!

In a designers world many things are hands on. In an AutoCAD designers world almost everything is virtual. You create images, textures, and colors thru any number of design software. And most of which is done on a subpar machine with very little support for creativity.

With a computer workstation tailored specifically for AutoCAD your options become endless. Let’s say you have a four monitor computer like the Atera670n by MultiplexPC.com. You now have a multiple monitor computer that is more than capable to not only run those four monitors but also run any and all software you can throw its way. A well built machine is just that. With the Atera670n you will never experience drag, delay, or any other overload issue. And with four monitors in front of you now you can be free to create your designs on a much larger scale.

Anyone who is a AutoCAD designer should take a serious look at their current workstation and ask, “Is this computer really doing what I need it to do? Is it holding me back?” Once you have multiple monitor workstation that is tailored for you, you will wonder why you ever worked without it!

How does a multi-monitor computer work?

First, a multi-monitor pc is constructed using the highest quality motherboards available, either a workstation motherboard or a high-end gaming motherboard. What makes these different and more special than a regular desktop pc from Dell or Compaq, or off the shelves at Best Buy is that the components are designed to run multiple monitors and to handle the increased stress load on the hardware. Many people do not realize that when you are using multiple monitors for research, gaming, trading, or CAD that each one of those monitors is essentially a desktop running a 2nd, 3rd, or more instance(s) of that or multiple programs. Having this many windows open on multiple monitors will make a standard, non-multi-monitor specialty pc, run slower or crash often. Having a computer built from the ground up per your specifications to run the desired amount of monitors that you want, is where the custom multiple monitor companies, like MultiPlex PC, come to your rescue. Building a multiple screen computer is do able for the experienced pc builder, but if you’re the average user that just wants to get the best deal on a multi-screen pc than you need to call a professional company to build your system. They will warranty it and make sure you get a plug and play system out-of-the-box.

Create a Portable Multiple Monitor Workstation.

A multiple monitor workstation is a pretty cool thing. A portable multiple monitor workstation is something totally unique. Lets take a look at how you can create your own portable multiple monitor workstation.

The best place to start is to figure out how many monitors you need. Everything else will be determined by the amount of screens you want to run. For a portable solution that will be used for small groups, surveys, or in a more personal environment a solid multiple monitor workstation consists of 3 monitors to 4 monitors. This is a very manageable size for any one person and needs minimal ’setup’ and ‘breakdown’ time. Also with such a small amount of monitors a multiple monitor laptop could easily be used, eliminating the need for a multiple monitor PC.

A solution that would better fit a larger company maybe doing promotions, working trade shows, or holding banquet style meetings could range anywhere from 8 monitors to 28 monitors. From 8 to 28 and in between the workstation would require at least two people for assembly. Such a large solution would also require a multiple monitor computer as a laptop cannot power such a machine.

A portable multiple monitor workstation makes a very big impression. You can extremely interactive, engaging, and the workstation grabs every one’s attention. All multiple monitor computers from MultiplexPC.com can be upgraded to just about any number of monitors!

These traders have dramatically increased profitability and maximized efficiency simply by having the ability to simultaneously open and view all critical programs, websites and live feeds.

Functionality and speed are two things day traders must possess in a multiple monitor system. When seconds can mean the difference between earning and losing thousands of dollars, serious traders simply cannot afford to cut corners on their computer system. Choosing a system with sufficient processing speed means never having to wait for a page to load before a trade can be made.

Multiple monitoring technology has become more advanced, affordable, and accessible than ever before, making it completely unnecessary to tolerate a slow and inefficient system any longer.

We recommend selecting a computer system that’s been designed with your needs and uses, such as the Proplex Day Trading line from MultiplexPC.com.
