Seriously considering getting the 88 key instead. F#3 doesn't respond the way the other keys do so I have to take it back anyway.

What a coincidence. I just bought an M-Audio Axiom 25 this week. I really like it so far.

Nice, I got the Axiom 25 recently as well, but in the fancy red edition that every pro-audio company seems to be putting out this year. Last night I just won an MS2000BR on eBay :awesome:

to go in a cheapo Lenovo S10 netbook I also bought. Almost doubled the price of the netbook, but I wanted an SSD-based one with a respectable amount of space.

You should clear all the crap out of the bottom of that and put charcoal in it. Or is that just a gas-lit charcoal grille?

Hey, I'm in the market and that looks neat, mind sharing what you know about it?
2010-02-24, 11:12 PM #1266
Figured that using remote desktop between my main computer and the one right next to it was stupid and slow, broke down and bought a KVM. I wish I had purchased one years ago.

That, except with DVI, is pretty much what I've been looking for for weeks.
What exactly is the model/brand?
Found it, And all the DVI KVM switches I could find are insanely priced, jesus christ 150$.
2010-02-25, 12:30 AM #1268
Yeah, they are not cheap. The other computer is VGA so I am just using both inputs, DVI and VGA on my monitor and switching between them.
2010-02-25, 12:39 AM #1269
My monitor just has 1 DVI port, poop.

That sucks. Did I mention I love Micro Center? It's like NewEgg, with less selection but overwhelmingly awesome and way cooler than Best Buy.
2010-02-25, 12:52 AM #1271
That really depends on what you're looking to buy. Sometimes Micro Center is the place to go, other times it really is not. It's generally a pretty good store, but I wouldn't say it's better than Best Buy, it's just different.

EDIT: Best Buy is like a car dealership. Micro Center is like a auto parts store.

Good analogy.

I once bought two 4-port KVMs from Microcenter, retail value about $200 each. They were marked down to $0.99. :omg:

I agree. They have some great deals, but it is a great store to browse, if nothing else. Much better than Best Buy as far as computer components and peripherals.

I went in looking for a KVM, and walked out with a KVM($20), multi-card reader($10), wireless usb keyboard+mouse ($5) and fan control unit ($15). Plus a 5 port switch I purchased a few months ago for $10. Awesome.
2010-02-25, 3:47 AM #1275
The last time I went to micro center I ended up spending like 400 dollars. Stores like that are my Achilles heel.

The last time I went to Best Buy I was asked by the same guy if he could help me 5 times w/in a 15 minute period while I was simply skimming accessories. Needless to say I cursed him out & left. I don't understand why I should have to say "no" 5 times & feel like I'm being hassled just for visiting a store. I went home & ordered what I needed through Amazon for much less than I would've gotten it w/ my employee discount & free shipping. The sad thing was that I was an employee in another division of the company at the time.

finity5, I'm surprised remote desktop was slow enough for you to notice, especially over a (presumably) wired network. I used it at university all the time to work on my home machine from the computer science labs and it was fine.

what's worse is when you actually need help with something THEY ALL SEEM TO GO ON BREAK

2010-02-25, 9:16 AM #1279
*shrug* I just tell Best Buy employees that I don't need any help and they always tend to leave me alone. Being forward with them always seems to work. I've only encountered one guy who was slightly pushy when I went there to pick up a cheapo laptop they had on sale. The guy tried to start selling me the whole ripoff package, but I immediately said to him "I can just take this box up to the checkout and buy it, right?" and then grabbed it and walked away from him.

Well there are a few variables that may have made it more tedious. It was between Linux and Windows and the Linux machine is significantly slower.
