Srsly though.

 

How2UPS?

 

First build (see sig).

 

Currently plugged to an extension cord. Which has four slots,

Slot 1: External 2TB HDD

Slot 2: Printer

Slot 3: Monitor

Slot 4: PC.

Questions:

1.) Is this setup safe? The extension cord itself is a bit sketchy. But so far the setup has been working since December.

2.) If I do decide to get a UPS? WHAT? HOW? WHERE? ahahaha

3.) Do I still need an AVR IN ADDITION to the UPS? Also, surge protector? AGH so many confusing stuff.

What Ever you do, don't get this one: CyberPower EC850LCD (http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/534204-i-finally-figured-out-why-all-my-anteccorsair-psus-were-dying/)

 

A really nice unit (Which would be okay for this setup: http://www.amazon.com/APC-BR1500G-Back-UPS-10-outlet-Uninterruptible/dp/B003Y24DEU/ref=sr_1_11?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1453706739&sr=1-11&keywords=apc+pure+sine+wave)

 

Also, please note, in the event of a power loss, you must save all of your work on your computer and turn it off (This is in order to keep the batteries from dying FULLY).

THAT'S EXPENSIVE! T_T. I thought the price range was just somewhere below 100 USD. #sad.

It is 480 watts on battery. That will barely give you enough time to save and shutdown properly.

You're not giving me any tips on how to properly size a UPS.

 

So I'm like "520W PSU ~~ 480 W UPS close enough GGEZ"
