- I'm trying to get some info regarding a small UPS for a PC system.
- I've seen an American Power Conversion Inc, "BACK UPS 600". I've
- also read about other products from "APC" and TRIPPLITE. What I need
- is some first hand advice on:
-
- PC size UPS systems.
- Software packages that use the output signals from the UPS to do
- auto shutdowns of the PC before the battery goes. (or other
- programmed responses)
- UPS systems to avoid (based on your war stories =-)
- Things to consider when "sizing" the UPS to buy.
-
- Additionally, if anyone has a phone number or address for "TRIPPLITE"
- I'd appreciate it as well.
