How big is yours?

[Z24]

Your UPS that is....


500VA for me. (Back UPS Pro 500)

 

[teckmaster]

I have a Back UPS 900

 

[Z24]

I'm jealous.

 

[thebestMAX]

325 VA. Seems to be quite atequate and has saved me numerous times. Have short 2-4 sec power outages almost daily here in PBC,FL.

When I get a new one I think I will get a little bigger one, just in case.

I have a P/K blackout buster I think its 500 VA im not sure though. It has saved my A$$ numerous times.

 

[DefRef]

650V/A. I tried the drain test and canceled it after 12 minutes cuz the beeping was annoying me. It was only half discharged and that's with the rig listed in my sig attached. I got it thru a Hot Deals tip.

525va Does the job pretty good. My apt is old and the electricity sucks. Toaster pops up, lights dim!

 

[AndrewR]

Blackout Buster is 500VA.

I have a TrippLite Internet Office 700VA. Hasn't failed me yet.

I have two of them APC BackUPS Office models. Can anyone get the program it comes with to work with Win2K? The autoshut down feature that connects to your com port?

Don't think it has been working for me.

I have a 320VA King Pro Office. Unfortunately it's not enough for my system and my monitor...

CyberPower 1500 VA
CyberPower 500 VA
P/K Blackout Buster 500 VA

I've been very satisfied with all of them; And I strongly recommend the use of a UPS for all systems. The power regulation capability means more for my peace of mind than "soft shut-down" during a major power failure, but it is nice to skip through a temporary outage before you even notice the lights were off - I tend to get a bit absorbed with Counter-Strike . . .

 

[AndrewR]

If anyone wants an APC 500VA UPS, I have two for sale right now.

TimberWolf: You actually have WORKING CyberPower units? Wow, didn't think those existed.

sneaky varmit

AndrewR:

No problems - ever.

Multiple occaisions of brief power drops without a hiccup; Two times that extended outages resulted in "soft" shutdowns without trouble.

A tech from the local power utility decided to get a UPS for his own systems when he came to change the service from commercial to residential. I was in the midst of a Half-Life session, and he wanted to warn me that the power would be off for about 5 minutes or so - Did I want him to wait so I could save the game? I said go for it, and another UPS believer was born about 7 minutes later (He could hear me playing through the open window while he worked!).

prodigy69:

That's after the "surgery" right?

-Giz

 

[prodigy]

Yeah Giz, reduction surgery's a b!tch.

 

[Gizmology]

Reduction eh? That's a first.

Office 280. Damn thing only lastest 1.5 years, died on me the other day. I'm guessing it's the battery, but it's a POS for spending $75+ dollars on it.

I'm buying a generic surge protector from WalMart sometime this week. I know the BackUPS are better, but I'm sure as hell not going to spend that kind of money on something that dies after 1 1/2 years.

My two cents.

 

[KameLeon]

Don't ask

Big enough to satisfy my girlfriend's needs.




































She's got a P120 attached to my 600VA UPS :-O
