So.. whatsaguy todo... any suggestions recommendations. what are you all using for UPS? Is there anyway to get adequate protection without paying an arm and a leg? I have had an APC Back-UPS 650 for 2 years. No problems and every time we have had a power outage it has kept my computer running until I could execute an orderly shut down. A previous poster to this thread didn't like APC UPS because he has had computer equipment damaged from a large power line transient even when he was using an APC UPS. He said this has never happened when he was using a Best UPS. Hence you have a choice save money and buy an APC UPS, or equivalent, and make use of the warrantee if your computer ever gets zapped or pay a lot more for a Best UPS. Personnally I think an APC UPS is adequate for home use. But here in the Northwest we have very few lightning storms compared to the East coast. Perhaps I would feel different if I lived on the East coast.
