Trading laptop - Alienware or Falcon Trading Systems?

Computer just crapped out today so I'm looking to buy a new laptop just for trading. Mostly will be using it at home, but will take it to work sometimes too. Needs a large monitor and must be able to hook up an additional 34" monitor. I need something fast for scalping.

I am using a laptop by MSI.

Fast.

Gamers like it.

Complaint? The fan sounds like Boeing made it to start a jet engine.

The people in the trading room I visit can hear it, LOL. They tell me it sounds like Martian music.

I actually ended up buying a MSI laptop. It's not a gaming laptop, but a workstation laptop built with some same of the same parts as gaming laptops. I LOVE my new trading laptop.
