Lets see if I get this cool stuff.

[neisius]

I just noticed that it changed the names of the parts that I ordered. but the part #s are the ones I ordered.
The MTAN6419-CHRG should be a 1.90" 8x8 Bi-Color Dot Matrix. So now I don't know what I'm getting :confused:

[jpmkm]

They're going to shit their pants when they get to work in the morning. I've got a feeling we won't be getting these. It would be very cool if we did, though. I stongly suggest that everyone copy and paste that link so that they don't see a bunch of people coming from hardforum.com.

[Neocorteqz]

*Up to 2 samples of each part are offered for free. Marktech reserves the right to refuse or substitute comparable parts without notice. Samples only available to companies based in the United states and Canada. Free samples for countries outside the US and Canada are not available at this time.

Listed in the footer of the site, and the banner says they offer free samples of all products listed in their online catalog.

[antoniohawk]

I agree with jpmkm's idea of copy and pasting the url into your address bar so that we might actually get these.

In addition, he can't be wrong since he's from Kansas City :D

[S1nF1xx]

I've never gotten any of the sample requests I've applied for. Has anyone had anly luck with these?

[Rakinos]

Marktech Optoelectronics is a leading supplier of components exclusively to Manufacturers and design houses throughout North America. Based upon our criteria, we cannot provide you samples at this time. Thank you for your consideration.

[diredesire]

These deals are meant for people who will use these components in LARGE quantities, which is why they can afford to give them 'free'. They make it back in future orders. It's not meant for case modders looking for freebies. That said, i suggest getting LEDs from the various LED sites, or off E-bay. Do a search for Chi Wing LED store and you'll find some pretty kick ass prices


I'm not scolding anyone, but i'm just saying it cause it needs to be said

[gymboy689]

i got an e-mail today that said,

Everyone got that e-mail. wait for the second one :rolleyes:

Here is the one I got:

Thank you for your interest in Marktech Optoelectronics. Please advise which product your firm will use this sample request for, and advise (1) annual usage (2) manufacturer/product name (3) estimated production start and (4) purchasing contact information related to this product development. This information is required to complete processing free-of-charge sample requests.

If this project is for personal/independant project development, these parts can be purchased from our office using a major credit card (VISA/Mastercard). Contact information is shown below. Unfortunately, we are unable to supply free-of-charge samples to independant developers, inventors, students, etc. The sheer volume of requests from these sources makes the costs of this practice too high.

Please let me know the required information above so that I can complete your sample request.

Thank you, and best regards.

[three_sixteen]

Just placed an order - will edit my post to reflect wether or not it gets shipped.

your not going to get it unless you tell them "(1) annual usage (2) manufacturer/product name (3) estimated production start and (4) purchasing contact information related to this product development."

[three_sixteen]

w00t they shipped it.

[neisius]

w00t they shipped it.
read all the posts. I don't think your getting anything.

[three_sixteen]

Well, I haven't gotten any email yet saying anything differently.

I think I can safely assume they're on the way?

[neisius]

nope. we all got e-mails conferming our orders...Unless you actually got an e-mail saying it has shiped, with a tracking number, I still don't think your getting anything.

...Unless you actually work for a manufaturing company, they wont ship.

[RancidWAnnaRIot]

Hello? didn't you read how no one is getting anything?

[Techguy]

eh.. oh well.
I'm too lazy to put work into getting free stuff.. all that reading isn't worth the free stuff. Link, and auto complete baby!

[KillFrogg]

I got a email asking for a legit phone number. I just deleted it. I don't them that bad.

[Kroz]

Legit Phone number request here too...

That bruce guy must be really sick of all the fake phone numbers. :)

[acetic]

Heh, I just phoned them, told them i was backlighting cellphone cases, and mice and such for Szek Technologies New product line, and then they were like "No you're not; Szek Technologies isn't even a real company." Then i panicked and hung up :D :rolleyes:

hahaha. I'm sure they've heard it all.

[antoniohawk]

Just because they haven't heard of your company, doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. Tell them to shove it and show some proof of nonexistance.

Doh! Too late for that now... It seems i must try again... with a new fake company!!! :D:D:D

[FrenchFry619]

[neisius]

guess you got in before they figured out everyone was tring to rip them off.

[SykoBMW]

FArk! I just signed up and gave my cell number. Time to bullshit with my fake company. I've used it so much that I get credit card apps for my company :)

[Magic H8 Ball]

w00t! I got mine in the mail today! They didn't send me an e-mail or call me!

When did you order? I put mine in on the 9th, haven't gotten anything yet... and I actually do work at a company that could use this kind of stuff. Perhaps I should call them.

[coldfusion21]

well i just put in my order today, we shall see what happens, not a biggie if i dont get them cant complain about not getting free shit now can we.

[SykoBMW]

Haven't heard anything since I ordered it. Got the confirmation e-mail, but no other call or email.

[corran_horn314]

[jpmkm]

Have you read the thread?

[Captain Colonoscopy]

Yay, I got mine today. I didn't really know what I wanted to get and I after started reading through the catalog I got bored and ended up with this: http://www.free-image-hosting.org/pic.php?pic=6/18000450889.jpg

I was thinking of using the light bars for a cpu usage monitor. Now I just need to figure out how to do it. :)

[Acceptable_Risk]

I'm actually interested in legitimately ordering several thousand LED's but I can't find the pricing.

[bleedingcancer]

Well I got my LEDs today, but I only got about half my order, Oh well how can I complain its free. :D

It's so wierd how only n00bies are getting this to work.

[OverlordQ]

Sent in order today, lesee if they honor it. I'm an 'Engineer' for TDC Systems, Inc. who specialize in status displays for embedded devices.

[bleedingcancer]

It's so wierd how only n00bies are getting this to work. Because I rarely post makes me a noobie eh?

[corran_horn314]

yeah, both bleedingcancer and I registered before neisius, and i've been reading the forums far longer than i've been registered.... and we're n00bs... hmm

it's not my falt that it says it under your name. And I have been reading here for 5 years :-P

[jpmkm]

Are you a little upset that you aren't getting your leds and other people are? Lay off them. As with most of the freebies here, some people get stuff and some don't. What is so hard to understand about that? Let them get their free leds and stop complaining. And I've been reading this forum for 10 years and I've gotten 300 free leds and I have a huge penis to go with it all. :rolleyes:

[Vertigo Acid]

Can you feel the love tonight :p
Anyway, for the LED bar graph IIRC they are voltage based. So, for each segement, you would raise the voltage x to get the next one to light. I'd ask over in the Electronics subforum if I were you

slow down ther buddy. Just made a little comment. Lay off me! :-P

[jpmkm]

Just a little comment after each person gets their leds.

[ati_azn]

how long did it take for you guys to get it? still havent gotten mines and its been a month

[FrenchFry619]

I got my leds awhile back, but today I got another package from them, the same size as the other, that had ONE led in it. Apparently the missed one in the last shipment.

[nst6563]

I got my LED's also. But I also didn't fill in any fictitious (sp?) information on the form. Ironically, one kindof burned out to the point that it just flashes like a strobe now...I guess it could be cool if you needed something like that though.

If you want something extra spankity...order the MT3740N2-WT "Custom Hybrid Device". That thing is bright as all hell. I replaced my mini-maglight with that thing...I think it's like 7000mcd's or something insane and has a *VERY* sharp focused beam on it. Kind of looks like the HID headlight from a BMW or something....

are you sure its a HUGE PENIS? it could be a strap on dildo that blinded you because it has 300 leds on it LOL anyways those $hitheads said there is no company in the name of atek3000(there is but its not mine) when i called them and tried to order a free sample because the online one wouldnt fucking work for me...
