[screw3d]

My PC keeps restarting because of this. :|

I need to invest in a UPS. Any suggestions below $50? I don't need to keep it powered for 30 mins, but just enough to get through the brownouts?

 

[BlamoHammer]

Just do down and find a cheap APC. It will do what you need.

 

[ElFenix]

Me too. It was a great purchase.

I'm wondering though. Do UPSs use up a lot of electricity since they are alway charging their batteries?

Doggiedog, no, you'll pay far more for the UPS then you will in extra power used.

 

[IGBT]

Got mine at costco..yup..all those babies grow up to be power consumers...

 

[Howard]

Frequent the HD forums. There's a deal for UPSes that pop up every once in a while.

i shut off some of my war machines, that should give you a lil more juice and reduce your brownouts.

You are so smart. Quit neffing and go to bed.

OTOH, I finally got myself a APC Back-UPS ES500 from Dell for $36.xx shipped and taxed from Dell 🙂 I tried pulling out the plug from the electrical outlet and it nearly gave me an orgasm to see my PC still up and running 😀

 

[nsafreak]

Yeah it's nice to have a UPS. Nice to know that my PC can keep going for a good bit on my TrippLite SMART 1400 Va rated UPS 🙂
