I've been happy with mine. Not exactly cheap, but you can only go so cheap with a UPS. It's very much a you get what you pay for situation.

Same one I have, I second this.

I wouldn't go cheaper, you MIGHT be able to get away with the model one level down from this, but this one is usually only a few bucks more, and having headroom is good.

 

(looks like amazon is out of these right now, it's $199 at bestbuy)

sorry to impose on another persons thread, but would you have a estimate on how long the battery would last for me? I would be only plugging one monitor instead of all of them but i have a 39" 3840x1600 monitor, 9900k with 32gb of ram and am using a 970 with a 1200w PSU.

Why in the world do you have a 1200W PSU for a 9900K and a 970? That doesn't actually matter, though. I can get 30 minutes or so of actual usage (light... no gaming or anything crazy like that) or about 90 min idle.

more than long enough to finish what your doing and shut down your pc safely.

1200w is very overkill for your pc, i bet your not even exceeding 600 watts in actual use.

the thing is like 8 years old. I had it when i was stupid enough to get 4 980's.

 

I have a new 850 in my closest when it dies

if anyone cares. Using the pc and 1 monitor and a rasberry pi connected to one but with 900w i get like 25 minutes. running a game gave me like 20. Also it says i was not even using 200 watts playing a game.

 

And it uses a ethernet data cable USB which i didn't know they even had
