What UPS to get?

Cvdasfg

I Would like a UPS for all the electronics in my "work" area at my house. I have a ps4, xbox one, ps3, three vg248qe monitors, two hp 25bw monitors, a macbook pro, and two pcs with a combined psu wattage of 2200 watts. I assume these all wouldn't be plugged into one UPS correct? How many should I get? Any suggestions?

I have had a lot of apc ones: http://www.apc.com/template/country_selection.cfm

 

You might be able to get one big one to power it! Or they make them in smaller sizes so you could have one for each setup?

I wouldn't plug all of that into 1 UPS.

Are all those things located in the same room?

Think of a UPS as an expensive power board, so you'd buy 1 for an area where you need it.

 

You won't need a UPS for things such as laptops, they're kinda their own UPS in a way. (just a surge protector will do)

 

Brands I've used: EATON and CyberPower

EATON may be more expensive but quality may be a bit better with things such as faster reaction time when power is cut off (only by a couple milliseconds)

CyberPower may be a bit cheaper, but the 1 I have has a little screen that tells you useful information such as: input and output voltage, % battery, time remaining on battery, load capacity

 

EDIT: I've had 2 EATON UPS that lasted 10 years (battery needs replacing, but they still work as a 20kg powerboard :P )

And I've had the cyberpower for 4-5 years I think, so far so good.

For that much wattage I usually suggest to split off your loads or devices your connecting to them with your PC's being the main priority to let you save work and not lose data, what are your systems specs since the UPS only need to be capable of supply what your system needs.

 

I usually recommend an APC UPS they're some of the best ones out there.

Thank you i will look into them :)

PC specs on profile. 

 

Well for two of those systems in your spec your looking in the region of 1000W needed for both of them, it may be a better value to get two separate UPS for both system than one large one since the large ones >1000W are usually for servers.

Two smaller smart UPS:

How would buying two different ups for each system work? Wouldn't I still only be able to draw from one sense its one power cable?

I assume it's with the TX10 cabinet case with the two systems you have so each system would plug into it's own UPS and since the ones linked are smart UPS you have also the option to setup software to shut down the system if there is an extended power outage and the batteries run down with a data USB cable.

Oh ok makes sense. Thank you!
