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?

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 😀
 
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 🙂
