Its looks may stun you.
Its speed may astonish you.
Its power maybe unbelievable.
But, the 2008 R8 V12 TDI Concept car is a work of beauty. It was unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show last year.
The V12 R8 produces an immense throughput of 500hp and 1000Nm of torque.
With the immense power of the V12, the R8 has a top speed of over 300km/h.
The R8 is a great balance of luxury and performance.
If the person is looking for a luxury car, the R8 will shower him with the wealthy interior and the LED headlamps.
If the person is looking for a sports / performance car, the R8 will blow him away with a fast 0-100Km/h in just 4.2secs.
The V12 R8 is a work of art and offers luxurious performance that engulfs the one behind the wheel.
Fun. Frankly, this day is one the days I consider the funnest day I've had.
It started right after my test in my Accounting class. I went straight down, going outside the building and change clothes.
Annoying thing though, after meeting up with Marissa when we were about to go on the jeep; I felt a rip somewhere on my pants. And to my dismay, it was at the crotch area. Gee, I panicked. I didn't know what to do, I had no safety pin or whatsoever to clip it together. So, instead of going on the jeep, we stayed for a short while and I immediately asked a friend of mine whom I knew had an extra short with him at all times.
After getting the shorts, we left.
Next after that, it was all fun. It maybe was our first, but it was great. Though several bad omens kept showing until the "karma" appeared. Well, that's where the fun ended.
Anyway, all I can say is, it was FUN. ^_^
As Sunday, July 12 passed Monday arrived and with a lash of rain along. According to the weather forecast, there is a storm approaching. I don't what kind of name they gave it this time, but as far as I have seen this storm is rather strong.
I think it was Gorio something or Gory whatever. All I can perceive is that it is rather annoying since it came at a wrong point in time.
Early as 2am today was already raining heavily and the wind was quite hasty.
I woke up early due to a sudden bang outside my window. To my dismay, it was only a tree branch that broke from the nearby tree.
There I was, awake and don't know what to do since my class is still 7am. I opened my notebook and browsed through my notes. This action prove worthwhile for me, for I have forgotten that I had a test on my Ethics class. And it has given me somehow an advantage for me, for some of my classmates had forgotten about the said test.
After class I met with Marissa. She treated me for lunch today due to my forgetfulness. I forgot to put my money in my wallet. Well, it was like a shock to me. Three cups of rice, along with three different viands. I rarely eat three cups of rice. But, its Marissa. Let's just say she wants me to maintain my size.
After that, we parted ways. She, along with her group mates in her PE class went to Luneta and I went home.
Here I am today. Just finished programming in the lab. How annoying it was, programming with a dose of time pressure. It was quite stressful since I'm refreshing my skills at the moment.
Now I am here, writing this article. An hour to waste away. Either to write a unending article or go eat. I prefer to write an article. An article that is looping.. .
On second thought, never mind. My mind is not fully charged at the moment. I'll write something else some other time.
Alright, a week's worth of class has passed. Another week shall fly towards me and endow me with more to think about.
Yesterday, 1:30 in the afternoon we ate in a bar, and drank beer. It was like any normal drinking session however the twist is more of an effect of the alcohol or maybe the atmosphere.
Darren, the nearly unaffected guy by the alcohol, asked for a chili. And there he placed it in front of him, and saying he will eat it later.
Then Apple, the girl who haven't drank any yet dared Darren to a chili eating contest.
Darren, proud of himself accepted and started eating the chili.
Alongside me, is Marissa my girlfriend and best friend. The one in yellow, that is. I'm the one who was noisy and who moved the bottle.
Frankly, it was only supposed to be lunch but it turned out to be a drinking session and a chili contest.
Many PC consumers especially here in the Philippines have in mind this virtue: "Price before quality".
This has blinded many from buying Branded PC's which offer excellent quality and speed instead, they buy parts and build everything from scratch.
There are many different things that can be compared among the two.
One of which is, Warranty.
Warranty for Branded PC's has also the same duration as the generics but the Technical Support that the Branded PC can offer support beyond the PC's warranty.
Another thing between the two is, Cooling.
Generic PC's can be installed with Water cooling and other cooling enhancements but oftentimes lead to disaster.
Also, the Power Supply Unit *PSU* can't hold the high ampere consumption of the cooling system forcing the PSU to divert more power to cooling system instead of delivering more power to the hard drives, optical drives, etc.
Branded PC's which are sometimes pre-made with Water Cooling and a the PSU is dedicated to deliver power to both the Cooling system and the CPU itself.
Third difference among Branded and Generics is the CASE.
Generic CPU Cases here are made of aluminum and is very thin.
It doesn't provide proper air flow to the internal parts in turn overheating the system especially here in the Philippines which is oftentimes immensely hot .
Branded CPU Cases are made of thick metal alloys and it is designed for proper air flow.
Making the system a bit cooler than that of a Generic CPU Case.
Another noticeable problem are the screws.
Generics often have too many screws on them. Once you lose one, you're going to have a difficult time locking your CPU. And a hassle in replacing the screw itself.
Whereas Branded PC's are mostly designed to be screw-less. Instead of screws, they design locking mechanisms on drive-bays, card-slots,even the PC Case covers itself.
After reading this, Quality or Price?
