Burn Baby Burn…

Coining the term from the Amazing Race:

A Detour is a choice between two tasks, each with its own pros and cons. Teams must successfully complete one of the tasks described on the clue in order to receive their next clue. One task is typically an easier option that takes more time to complete, while the other is usually a difficult or frightening option that can be finished quickly. In later seasons, the trend has been towards Detours which offer less clear-cut choices. Often, there may be some degree of luck involved with the "easier" option, such that a team may accomplish the task faster than if they had taken the quicker, harder, riskier option. Should a team choose to switch Detour tasks part-way through, there is no penalty, other than naturally lost time.

In my project, I basically took one and may not be the last. I took a leap to the month of May and have purchased a DVD Writer. Of course, why don’t I follow the time table and yes, because of this detour I am stuck with pros and cons. The pros definitely outweigh the cons as I only lose out 170 Dhs and now I possess the legendary Benq WD1640. I’ve got it after a lot of debate over a Samsung SE-W164C (External @ 315Dhs), Sony DRX-800UL (2nd Hand, External @ 300Dhs) and this unit. Besides, I desperately need one right now, I’m losing disk space on my laptop and my hard disk enclosure plus wifey wants to download Smallville Season 4. Choices are limited and I am still deciding on the Power Supply and now that there is a new boy in town, I choose to wait it out. The Thermaltake Tough Power has caught my eye and I want it. The Liberty Series is still teasing me and I just want to cry out and take both. We’ll see in the next couple of days, I do aim to get a PSU by the 16th of March, of course I do have a choice to take my time as always. That is the whole thing about Project Piece-© (PC), which stands for Project Patient-Computing.

So the Project stands:
February: Casing
March: Power Supply
April: Wireless Keyboard / Mouse and Hard Drive
May: DVD Writer / BD Writer and 5.1 Speaker System
June: Display
July: Cooling Solution and Sound Card
August: Motherboard
September: Memory Modules
October: Processor
November: Video Card

Another good thing, Dervin’s blog is up and running again. Apparently, the server went down, I think, so I take back what I said about Fil.ph going out of business or something.
