Belkin UPS on clearance at Office Depot $39.99 B&M

[Maverick319]

Saw them on the clearance table at OD (B&M) in Winston-Salem, NC. $39.99 for a 325VA version. As always, your mileage may vary...

I didn't know they sold generic -- is it Belkin by any chance? Did you buy one? If so, please post a SKU. Thanks.

I just called my local store here. no such clearance. Please confirm.

 

[Little Po]

thats not a clearance price, actually its regular price at that 39.99, and it is made by Belkin IIRC. Dont know the sku offhand, i can get it for you all on monday sometime after i go to work

SKU 399351

Retail $89.99
Clearance $39.99

Verdict: Get it if your OD has it on clearance. But nothing compares to an APC UPS.

Find your local OD phone number

What does that Belkin UPS compare to what model of the APC? I'm thinking of getting a 1250 model or the 2000 model because I have a 21" monitor and a Duron 950 with 1 CDRW, 1 DVD, and 4 7200 rpm hard drives...

How long will that last on the Belkin or an APC 1250 or 2000? Anyone with experience or ANY input?

Dude, try a Back-UPS Pro 500 from APC. But whatever you get, just don't plug a lazer printer in, the power surge from that will set off all the bells and whistles.

 

[AndrewR]

It won't set off bells and whistles -- it will burn out your UPS, as I understand it.

Anyway, I went to OD and had them scan the Belkin 325VA -- $89. Oh well, I guess I don't need it.
