I live in a rural area and have lots of power problems so a UPS is just about a must have. I am using the Belkin unit on my
TV but have not been too pleased with it. It does what it is supposed to but it runs a little warm and has a low transformer hum coming from it. I don't think the batteries are replaceable either. I think the next one I get will be from APC which I have used on my computers for years. Unfortunately APC tends to be rather expensive.

What APC UPS have you had the greatest success with? I want to get one for my computer because it's a pain in the butt when I'm bedridden and the power goes out, thenceforth shutting my computer off and I end up staring at the ceiling.

If I understand correctly, some UPS's don't "kick in" fast enough when the power goes out, to keep a computer constantly running.

Odd thing is, I believe my previous computer would turn back on after the power went out (not positive though), but my new one doesn't.


The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.

I would recommend the Smart-UPS line. They're more expensive, but they're quite reliable, as long as you get the right size.

Thanks Ken, I'll check them out.

Edit-Wow, expensive is right!
