serge protector??

[gate1975mlm]

What should I use serge protector or one of those Back up things? And which one?

It will be for a Athlon 64 3700+ system

Surge protection is a definite. Get a UPS if you lose power regularly or you want to keep the machine up 24/7 and have time to shut down if the power goes out.

If anyone here could recommend a good UPS that would be great.

How much do you plan on spending though? I have the Belkin 1100VA UPS w/ 640W battery backup. The Bull dog monitoring software's very handy in checking the load and battery level. $120 though.

Was hoping to spend around $50 maybe up too $80

I can get this one http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductP...ection_Id=76&pcount=&Product_Id=171876 for about $50

But I am not sure if this would be enough for my pretty high end system. Athlon 64 3700+ 19" LCD among other things.

Haha, I thought that this thread was re: protection from/for a guy named Serge.

That should be enough to keep you're system up for awhile. How long depends on the rest of you're system components, graphics card, number of HD's ect, enabling Cool n' Queit should have pretty significant impact on run time. Having a high efficient PSU with APFC will give you a huge boost on run time.
