Hello,

 

Since I'm gonna be going out of the country for at least few months, I'm looking for a UPS to keep my computer online at home (the house will not be empty). The KVM is mostly if I loose RDP access or something like that.

 

My requirements are that it is capable of holding a 1000W computer, a router (Altice FiberGateway GR241AG, approximately 19W) and a raspberry pi 4 (and the kvm). It must also have a management software with the capability of doing a graceful shutdown of the computer (if it also has software for Debian (raspberry) would also be a bonus), and Schuko connections (for the router and raspberry pi).

 

I'm also looking for a KVM, I was looking at the PiKVM, but I don't have other alternatives to compare it too. Since raspberry's are in low quantities at the moment, probably this will not have stock, plus isn't sold in Portugal... Another alternative is the BliKVM (either PCIe or the box).

 

About the UPS, I'm looking at the Gembird EG-UPS-PS3000-02 (420€) https://gembird.com/item.aspx?id=12480 , it has more than enough power capacity to keep the computer online for a few minutes, but reading the description, it needs at least 5% of power being consumed for it to be working correctly (3000VA / 2600W), so I would need at least 120W at all times, would all those devices keep that when idling? Also thinking about shutting down the computer during the night and configure an automatic start time.

 

Budget (including currency): 500€ (650€ to 700€ with the KVM)

Country: Portugal

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Needs to hold a 1000W computer with a Ryzen 9 5900X and a RTX 4080.

 

Thank you all
