UPS

[djdawn]

I have a school project where I have to find a UPS that can power a dual p4 server with 4 hard drives, and as well as a router and maybe a el cheapo switch attached. In terms of how long it's supposed to live after power is cut it has to be about 30 min, or something respectable.

What would you guys recommend for that?

APC RS 1500 or 1000. I think you will be surprised at how little power that pc actually uses.

It just depends on what the PC is doing. While using 100% of the cpu and accessing the HDs and other peripherals will dramatically raise the wattage.

APC makes good UPS, but if you are looking for the best consider Liebert.

Belkin's Warranty, Service, and Insurance is hard to beat...a Universal UPS 1200VA should be plenty.
