Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS)
Hi all,
I'm thinking of buying an Uninterruptable Power Supply for use with my home file server,
I just saw a fairly cheap one on dabs.ie : http://www.dabs.ie/products/best-val...lver-742H.html
The pc that'd be plugged into it has the following specs:
Gigabyte GA-EG31M-S2
Celeron e1500 undervolted to 0.9v & under clocked
2gb ram
Freenas as the OS
1tb WD green hdd
Do u think the above linked UPS would be ok for the above purpose?
Cool, always wanted one of those but have been put off by the price
that ups would do what its meant to, run long enough for your pc to shut down.

It does not have an impressive output wave form, though having buck and boost it is doing more than just its "off line" version type would give it recredit, as these are line-interactive features. A good power supply should be able to cope with a poor wave form without any problems, it is quite small so your probably get less 10 minutes run time with your system. As gonzo says its enough time for it to shut down. Even having a large battery isn't as great as you might think. People have retro fit car batteries to UPS to get more run time this also increase the charge time, so the system will take much longer to cope with an extended outage with another one... and they normally come in atleast pairs.

had to go in the loft due to noise.

No.
You need one with a pure sine wave output, not a stepped approximation. Get the industry standard: APC Smart-UPS - I have two 750va units myself. My workplace standardises on Smart-UPS kit too - we have two big 3-phase 40+ kVA units, and random ones dotted around various offices.
Stepped approximation sine wave output UPSes won't work with some equipment. Google it for more info.

Anyone know what the general name is for a UPS which can go in 5 1/4 drive bays
like this http://www.beam-tech.com/093001/prd_...ternal_ups.htm
Seems a lot more tidy to me, and actually makes use of a drive bay.
that would do well to keep a laptop running never mind a pc
