Poll: Do you use a UPS?

[Mik3y]

Well, do ya?

 

[Rip the Jacker]

No

 

[mdaniel73]

Yep. Losing an important file or corrupting a Windows file because of a 3 second power outage sucks.

 

[amol]

No, but I will probably have one soon . . .

Yes

APC 800va for my rig, and an APC 725va for my LCD and Cable modem, and router.

 

[modedepe]

Nope, and it's never been a problem when the power goes out.

I get power outages quite often where I live so it's nice to have. I think it turned on for a total of 10 times last year and 9 the year before (more or less).

 

[DrCool]

the more experience you have with electricity, the more you understand why you NEED a UPS..

run my main unit off an APC

 

[TechnoKid]

1000va, heh, i even have my cable modem and router on backup.

 

[elecrzy]

running comp and lcd off an apc 500va ups. its nice to have the computer hibernate automatically when there's a blackout.

 

[0010010110]

Yes.

 

[beatle]

Yes, APC BackUPS Pro 1100. The electricity in my house is not the best, and the line conditioning on this UPS is comforting.

 

[biostud]

Nope, we have a very stable delivery of electricity.

 

[Algere]

Yes

For $15, why not 😀

 

[Sunner]

My servers and firewall are on one.
Never needed it so far though.

 

[Azsen]

I'm thinking of getting one, but they are so damn expensive.

 

[TStep]

I like to gamble at Atlantic City, so "no" not at this time, though I should look into it.

 

[Jeff7]

Yes - both PCs each have their own (Cyberpower), and my Internet hardware (cable modem, router, switch) also have a small UPS (APC, rebate deal). The damn things are addicting. And you'll really love a UPS when the power fails during a BIOS flash.

 

[tm37]

I have my server on one.

U am going to get a better one for the server and move the little one to my main rig.

I'm thinking of getting at least a 5 minute UPS. Just enough time for a clean shutdown (attended or unattended) should the power go out (which it does 2 or 3 times a year).

By-the-way, OMGWTFBBQ, what does the BBQ stand for?

 

[eplebnista]

No

the bbq stands for "be back quick". 🙂

 

[sswingle]

I used to have one, but now whenever the power goes out it makes some insane beeping and everything turns off anyways. I'm sure its the battery, but I don't think there is a way to replace it. Gotta get a new one...

 

[villageidiot111]

I wish I had one, but they are too 'spensive for me.
