Belkin 1500 VA 830w Small Enterprise UPS 121.87 shipped @ buy.com with google checkout

[Takemaru]

121.87 shipped w/google checkout @ buy.com. going for 150 plus $21 shipping @ newegg, this is even less than the 1000va model @ newegg shipped, for some reason the 1000Va is more shipped @ buy.com as well, seems as least warm to me, i was in the market for one, living in Nyc in the summer and all, just thought i'd pass it on for those that need it. doesn't look half bad for a ups either, it's slim and fanless, easy to tuck away and forget about.

Edit: Xtra 5$ off if you're new to buy.com. Good till the 31stlink:gift:

Is this a good deal. I am in the market for a DECENT UPS and about to pull the trigger.

pretty cold deal when you add shipping in. It retails it seems for $160 by doing quick google search

 

[Takemaru]

It's 121.87 shipped, 131 if you're not new to google checkout, thats cheaper than the 1000va model @ newegg, it surely isn't cold...

Did you even click the link?

oh sorry i was just continuing from the topic title, where i stated the price.

One thing to keep in mind about Belkin, when you first turn it on it has really bad smell for first couple of days. I have 2 belkin and both had this smell

Will this keep three or four 1U servers running for a few hours (just the servers, no monitors)?

Is there a better deal/solution out there or should I jump on this?

 

[Takemaru]

The reviews are mostly good, theres a good deal of them on buy.com and other sites. I'm not experienced with the power demands of servers so dunno if it's up to the task

Will not come near a "few hours", more like a "few minutes". 1500VA will hold for a little while for 1 system but even then it won't make the "few hours" for even 1. I'll give you an idea, I have a 3GHz P4c, 2GB RAM, 600W power supply, 4 disk system. I also have a 20" LCD, a linksys wireless router and a cable modem all on that 1500VA battery backup. I will get about 30 minutes. Even with all the extra stuff I have listed, it no where near comes close to the load that 4 servers would have. You need to be looking at 5000VA+ systems and even then you will only get minutes not hours.

If you need hours, you need to look at a generator. That is just the nature of the beast. Battery backup is meant to keep the off/on, or couple minute brownouts from affecting your systems. Trust me I am an IT professional.
