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...

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...

Power to the people

Advantages: Very cheap, 2 fans
Disadvantages: None

...Arguably the most important component inside your PC is its power supply, the power supply unit (PSU) provides the power to every other component inside your computer ie: Motherboard, hard drive, processor, graphics card etc etc... and all these components require a powerful and extremely stable PSU in order to operate as intended. 14 months ago i built my current PC and opted to use the Q-tec 550 watt dual fan gold as its power supply unit, most modern day PC power supplies average around 350 watt and they are predominantly fine for most PC's but as you add extra components to your PC like extra hard drives, or a faster processor or faster graphics card then you may get close to reaching the limit of your particular power supply which can result in either the PSU not functioning properly (causing serious system instability) or in...

Review of Q-Tec Dual Fan Gold power supply - 550 Watt

Real Power!

Advantages: Modular cables!
Disadvantages: None for me.

...I had to purchase this more out of necessity than want. My old Enermax PSU decided one day that it wasn't going to turn on my PC. I then subsequently went all out and got a complete upgrade. I wanted something that would handle easily what i was going to throw at it. I also wanted a power supply that was 80 Plus compliant (80% efficient) details can be found if you look for the Coolermaster RS-620-ASAA-A1 on 80plus.org. It has one large fan which is quiet and unobtrusive, to be expected it fitted perfectly in my Coolermaster CM690 case. Being a modular PSU is an absolute godsend, why manufacturers never though of it sooner is beyond me. Modularity makes cable management and much easier and airflow much better. You get 2 sockets for graphics card power which can handle 2 x 6 pin and 1 x 8 pin plug very handy if you run an SLi rig...

Soap & Glory Hair Supply AKA Gunk In A Tube

Advantages: See Review
Disadvantages: See Review

...COSTS! It doesnt do anything that it promises to do and leaves your hair looking and feeling pretty vile. The only good thing about this is that it smells nice but even that doesnt stop this product from being terrible. Just don't buy it people! I cant think of anything else to say except stay away from this hair supply! £6 from Boots should you still want to buy it!!...

Boot Up your Computer with the Power of the Wind

Advantages: It's a clean, green power machine!
Disadvantages: It may cost you a bit more

...to you by the lovely N Power. I had previously tried to sign up with N Power Juice (not that I am all that keen on the company but hey, wind is better than nuclear any day), but instead had been supplied with their less environmentally friendly so-called ?brown? electricity. Then I was visited by a Southern Electric salesman and said ?Yes, I?ll sign! Just please go away!? A couple of days after reading about N Power Juice, I noticed a letter in the newspaper that said, ?Juice isn?t the only green energy available - why not try Unit[e].(now Good Energy)? Helpfully the web address was included in the letter, so I booted up the computer and had a look at what Good Energy had to offer. *Important Note* You will notice that I was not harassed by a representative of this company - I found them myself! WHY GO GREEN? I try to do...

A cpu with great power, but low cost

Advantages: good performance, low price
Disadvantages: not as powerful as more expensive cpu's

...can surely say that it is definatly money wel spent it is was very cheap, but pretty powerful and my computer is fast and responsive when booting up, running programs and doing more intensive applications such as video editing and converting. However one of the main reasons for me buying a dual core processor was the fact i wanted to play the latest games, and my amd 4600 x2 and 9800GT work together brilliantly. if you are are worried that this processor will not play crysis or any other tough games, you are wrong, games dont really use much of a processor because it tends to be more on the graphics card, but i would definatly say that this is the procesor for you if you are looking to upgrade to play a few of the latest games, it works really well. other than that all i can say is how pleased i am with how the CPU is getting on, i bought...

Review of AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ / 2.4 GHz processor

Sooo Powerful!!!!!

Advantages: Large Memory, Great Picture Quality, Coverflows, Additional Features!!
Disadvantages: Headphones Are Very Poor They Crackle When Bass Is On.

...disadvantaged is i cannot stand the headphones that are supplied with the ipod classic when you turn the music up or change the bass it tends to crackle and pop in the background and this is not due to the music been ripped at lower quality because i ripped mine at 320kbps and it still tends to this. Overall i would recommend this product to anyone fill your life with this hand little gadget and you will never be disappointed again. Finally the price of this is amazing considering what your are getting for your money when i purchased this in New York i paid 378 Us Dollars including the tax so in terms of Pound sterling i paid around £189 and i haven't been disappointed yet fully worth the amount i paid for it....

Power of a Woman

Advantages: Great tracks, harmonies
Disadvantages: None

...Eternal - Power of a Woman One of my favourite girl bands from old were Eternal (this is probably showing my age a bit but oh well). They were popular before The Spice Girls, Girls Aloud etc and I think one of the reasons why they were successful was because they could actually sing and had some lovely harmonies, with beautiful voices that all worked well together. They were also all very pretty as well so I'm sure this added to their success. Eternal were formed in 1992 and eventually ceased as a band around the year 2000. The group consisted of four members, Easther and Vernie Bennett who were sisters, Kelle Bryan and Louise Nurding. Louise Nurding is now probably the most famous of the quartet as she was fairly successful as a solo artist and went on to marry the footballer Jaime Rednapp. She still does some television work as...
