Agreed.

To the OP: get APC. SmartUPS if you find a model you can afford. 3
basic APC UPSes will cost you 300 euro. How much is your data worth?


Good question!


It may or may not matter to you, but APC support is in Ireland.


Might be handy....
Back at cpc I see this range
http://cpc.farnell.com/apc/bk650ei/u...apc/dp/CS14752

but they claim a backup time of 4 or 2 minutes -
or 45 / 25 seconds on full load (barely long enough for windows to shut
down) Can this be a typo by the chimps at CPC - or is this for real?
