    Another Quick 5 Minute Survey for UX Class: Help appreciated!

    Hi all, As part of my user experience class, we're doing a new study that's completely unrelated to tech. (Thanks for everyone who helped out with my last one!) This should take no more than 5 minutes and is completely anonymous. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/homefix Thanks!!

    PSA: Say no to music theory

    I love music theory too. Did a software project for school once where I used music theory to automatically correct, accompany, and improvise on what people played on a MIDI controller. It's awesome stuff ... just wish I could do it for a living. Too bad nobody really needs this type of...

    Quick 5 Minute Survey for School Project - Help greatly appreciated!!

    Yeah, I bought some amplifier super cheap from an audio store once but it was a demo model that had been on demo for 5 years. One of the few used purchases I've made that actually had a defect ... some of the inputs weren't functional.

    Quick 5 Minute Survey for School Project - Help greatly appreciated!!

    Hi Guys, I'm conducting a consumer psych survey for a project on buying used electronics. We're trying to find different sample populations for the survey, and I'd love to have the input of the ATOT community! It would mean a LOT to me if anybody coming across this thread spent 5...

    Are SurveyMonkey surveys kosher here?

    Hi all, I'm doing a consumer psych survey for a school project, and was wondering if SurveyMonkey surveys were actually Kosher or against forum rules. I'm mainly interested in the opinion of tech enthusiasts vs. non-techie people, and it would mean a lot to me if I could get some input...

    EVGA Mobo FF Message, No boot!

    No beep, I think there are some bent pins in the CPU slot. However, I've put a bunch of these together before, and when I closed the CPU bracket lever, it felt especially tight. I might try RMAing the board, but has anyone ever noticed that you need a LOT of force to get the lever down all...

    EVGA Mobo FF Message, No boot!

    I'm having a bit of trouble getting my new rig working... The EVGA x58 Mobo shows "FF" which I assume means that everything should be working. However, when I boot, there is no video display, and neither my keyboard nor mouse lights up. I've tried reseating the RAM, gfx card, clearing...

    Do 30 inch monitors REQUIRE dual-link DVI?

    I have the NEC 3090WQXi. Will it work on only one DVI cable input on resolutions that are not native? I know I need dual-link to get the full resolution, but should I be seeing anything on the screen if I only have one DVI input plugged in?

    HELP: My 2407WFP "freezes" on 1920x1200

    This is a really strange problem ... the monitor works fine on all resolutions on the VGA cable, except 1920x1200. Here are the symptoms at the resolution: - 30 seconds after going on the resolution, monitor turns black, and "freezes". What I mean by a freeze is that all the buttons on the...

    Why is DDR1 low-latency RAM still so expensive?

    Could someone please enlighten me to how my RAM is now the most expensive part of my system? I have a DFI Ultra-D with an Opteron 165 and 2GB G.Skill PC4000 2-3-2-5 RAM for overclocking. What is the motivation to spend $100 on RAM, rather than just spending more on the processor for Core 2...

    Lenovo ThinkPads - 10% off T61, 20% off X61

    I jumped on this deal over two weeks ago, and they just pushed my ship date from 10/19 to 11/06. This is absolutely unacceptable, but I guess Lenovo is notorious for their terrible customer service and product delays. Probably the last time I shop with them ... at least until they shape up a...
