UPS

[steve nasty]

Hey guys, so over where I live there are a lot of power problems. The power can just go out at any time (especially during the summer). My dad suggested buying an uninterrupable power supply. Can anyone recommend one for about 700-750 watts?

these things are expensive.

especially for long time power.

so, budget?

and where do you live?

"The Cyberpower 1350 (specifically, the CP1350AVRLCD) is a mini-tower, 810 Watts/1350 VA UPS that features a helpful LCD display on the front to give you visual cues to the device's health, battery charge, load capacity, and if there are any current issues or faults on the line. It packs 8 outlets (4 battery+surge, 4 surge), and is well designed for home theater setups, computer workstations, and it's slim enough to fit behind or under a desk. It also features USB and Serial connectivity, protection for Ethernet, coax, and telephone lines. The included software will shut your devices down gracefully in case of an outage. Speaking of connected equipment, the 1350 also comes with a three year warranty, and a $500,000 connected equipment guarantee in case a power surge or other fault damages your gear on its watch. 

Those of you who nominated the 1350 (and some other Cyberpower models) praised their longevity and their price-to-performance ratio. Some of you noted that Cyberpower's software leaves a lot to be desired, but overall the equipment is solid and those of you who use them love them. If you want one, they'll set you back $140 at Amazon."

Hey thanks, but I was looking for one that would go inside the case, like a normal PSU

Doesn't exist. You need A LOT of battery to provide 750W continously and stablely for even 15 minutes. Batteries are massive, so it's a limitation with physics than anything else

Yea, you realise UPS are used just as a backup not a battery like in a laptop right

Yes I do, I want it just so I can have have like a minute to shut the computer down in the event of a blackout. I totally thought there were ones that went in the case.
