Re: [H] UPS Deals?
I look around on Black Friday sales, or right after Christmas. I try to get at least 4 at those times. Sorry, I buy "seasonally" like that. Note: They are sometimes up to a year old, (shelf life), so I'm not sure I'm saving as much as I "think*... Rick Glazier From: "Hunter, Gary" Does anyone know of any good deals on UPS's? I haven't bought one for many, many years and looking at the three I have they are all underpowered. I don't need top of the range just a good deal :)

I haven't found any spectacular deals yet.

Re: [H] UPS Deals?
Gary, I know money is tight. Ups's are costly. But, look at the APC Back-Ups brand. Someone on our list uses the "Smart-UPS" level boxes. I could never justify the expense (~$100). I use APC's 1500KVA LCD toys now. Replacements for 1100KVA units (1998). I think APC may offer 1000VA and 750VA choices. Sales come and go. Understand. What is your data/LAN worth? For sure, I think you need at least 1000KVA for what you have in your study; as you have it wired ATM. JMHO.

Re: [H] UPS Deals?
Thanks for the advice Duncan. Got my new surge protectors delivered today and guess what. When the Laser printer kicks in the PC no longer turns off :) So I guess the surge protection on the old UPS is not up to scratch :-) -Original Message- From: hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com [mailto:hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com] On Behalf Of DSinc Sent: Thursday, February 18, 2010 5:45 PM To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com Subject: Re: [H] UPS Deals?

Re: [H] UPS Deals?
Sorry for the delay. Constantly hitting a Surge Protector with surges WILL "use it up". Most are sacrificial devices. Each "hit" grinds down what it will do "next time". And the better ones come with lights to tell you when they "are gone"... If at all possible, this should be handled another way, maybe like a different circuit to isolate the surge farther "downstream" from the protector or computer. I'm assuming they were plugged into the same wall outlet or something? Rick Glazier From: "Hunter, Gary" February 18, 2010 10:30 PM Thanks for the advice Duncan.
