So, I've got a fairly decent computer right now, with an LGA 1150 i5 4440 (getting upgraded soon), a bunch of RAM, a few hard drives (3 SSD's, 3 spinny drives of oldness), GTX980, 3 monitors, and some game stuff. I have an older Cyber Power 850 AVR UPS, but when gaming, with just the PC and one 24" LED LCD plugged in, my battery run time is less than 5 minutes. So, I've been eyeing a new UPS, specifically the CP1500AVRT. My plan is to plug the new UPS into my PC, and one monitor into the older 850AVR, along with all of my networking equipment. If the power were to go out while I was gaming, my run time would be long enough for me to save, quit, and shut down safely, then my monitor would get turned off, and my phone and WiFi would be available for several hours on the old UPS.
My problem is, I don't want to order online, due to the weight and shipping charges associated with it. I live in bum-armpit-nowhere, and we have a Best Buy and a Apple store, and that's it. Best Buy has a Cyber Power LX1500GU UPS, but I'm really unsure of if it's wroth it to save the $50 or so on shipping to buy a Best Buy product. I have googled, youtubed, binged, and yahoo!ed this model number, and so far, I have found absolutely jack shit on what this is. My gut is telling me to run the hell away from Best Buy and just get the UPS I found on Newegg, and eat the shipping costs. Does anyone have any information on this BB UPS? Or is it a waste of time and money to even bother with ANYTHING sold at BB anymore?
