Supply teaching

Advantages: Well paid, can work when you want, no planning
Disadvantages: Behaviour, unpaid holidays, lack of social side

I have been doing supply teaching for over a year now. I thought I?d write about my experiences and give some advice to those who might be thinking of supply work. BACKGROUND: I trained to be a teacher in 2006-7. I had never wanted to be a teacher, it was never something I always dreamed of being. I had always planned to be a lawyer. However, after studying History at university I knew that I wanted to work with the subject. I went on to do a Masters in museum studies and thought seriously about working in that field but the money was really bad and there were a lot of people trying to get very few jobs. I took a year out to think and to earn some money. The ex-Mr Tart wanted to go into teaching (he was also a historian) and I thought that seeing as I wanted to work in History there were worse things I could do. Not ...

Review of Supply Teaching

Hiper Type R HPU-4R580 Power Supply Unit

Advantages: Modular power connectors, good design, solid build, designed in the UK.
Disadvantages: Large

for the power supply[1]. ATX 2.2 includes changes to the main power connector (20pin to 24pin), removed auxiliary power connector and includes a need for a 3.3v tolerance. Effectively ATX2.2 is a a new standard variant based on older designs looking to power newer technologies but also to provide increased power modulation and better tolerances to power deviation. Intel BTX, another form factor standard that talks about heat sinks, finalised about a year ago. From the point of view of the consumer it makes it harder to have a very small case that complies to all specifications however it should also improve tolerance to heat substantially. From the point of view of the manufacturer it is difficult as it means doing some simple redesigns. SLi (Scalable Link interface), this is the interesting specification that's going to take some time to ...

Review of Hiper Type-R HPU-4R580 - power supply - 580 Watt

You don't get any better than this

Advantages: Stable, cool and quiet, modular cabling, overall quality, more powerful than official rating
Disadvantages: cables a little stiff

First off, I'm amazed that I am the first to review theis product. It's one of the best PSUs on the market. Corsair are well known for their excellent RAM, but their forray into the realm of power supplies has been immensly successful; the HX620W is consistently rated as one of the best enthusiast models on sale. Corsair markets the 620's modular design, industrial-grade capacitors and quiet running, as well as its capability for supporting SLI. These are indeed excelent features; the supplied cables and their modular system makes keeping your case clutter-free amazingly easy, and installation in general is just far too simple to be true! The PSU also runs very cool, and very quiet as well - the 120mm fan keeps the unit at a reasonable temperature, while making absolutely no sound. Those 'industrial-grade' capacitors aren't just ...
