What UPS (Back Up Power Supply) do you have?

<< How? >>



Well, let me start off by saying I could rant for hours about this (420VA under monitor UPS) UPS. It has more problems than an Athlon in a socket 370 MB. It clicks constantly (not like a UPS should, more like a HD) (and when it clicks, it will interfere with any monitor in the vicinity ). If it gets overloaded, it switches to battery (which is unable to cold start a monitor or system (pre ATX) which causes the system/monitor to try to start with insufficient power). And my biggest complaint is one of them had some sort of internal problem and it sent spikes through the outlet my speakers were on frying my sound card. Tripplite refused to replace/repair the sound card. Nice equipment protection policy eh? :disgust:

BTW, after the whole ordeal I sold the replacement unit and bought my first APC BP 650. I have had it over 3 years and it has not given me the slightest problem.

One of our accounts ordered in one too many Tripp-Lite SmartPro 700NET's and yours truly was gifted it. They said it wasn't worth the shipping to send it back. I was leaning towards one of the APC's, but who can complain for free?

1 X Back-UPS Pro 420 for home - over 4 years and going strong, just doesn't like it when the farm is on the big backup generator.
1 X Back-UPS Office 500 in the cellar for the little server. Works fine, and was cheap at Sam's Club
1 X Back-UPS Office 350 (I think) at work. Works great. W2K installed the auto shutdown software all by itself when it detected it, and that works great.

Belkin F6C650-USB
USB interface, works with XP's native UPS support; for 98 nice monitoring software
650 VA/390 W; 45 min; 4 battery-power outlets; 4 surge only outlets; $100K data recovery warranty

got it for $110

I've got my fully-loaded Athlon system, 19" CRT, VCR, Cable Modem, shortwave radio and USB hub powered off it; these make 55% capacity used

I've also got a Cyberpower 320 for my TV and stereo. Would use APC for everything but its too expensive for me.
