Hey guys and gals!
I've been considering for a while now to get a UPS, to protect my hardware from any unforseen power outages and whatnot. The thing is though, it's been many many years since I can even remember having any sort of power outage problems, whatever the cause. I live in Denmark, we don't really have what a lot of the world will call bad weather. Ie., crazy storms, lots of lightning, heavy snowstorms etc. And if we do, at least in the big cities where I live, we don't have power problems. So I'm also considering of course if it's even worth it, and just a waste of money. Of course it will be, the day shit hits the fan.
In either case, I have 2 PC's, and 2 monitors I'd like to hook up. If I could hook up my modem as well, that would be swell. I've also been considering getting a NAS server at some point. But from the PSU's I've been looking at briefly at the stores I usually shop, hooking up so many things might be an issue, or might drive the price way up considering my budget. Here's two reports for my old PC and my new PC, both which is being used. Based on the numbers, I'd assume like a 1.000Watt 900+VA is what I'm after?
Anyways, any thoughts? What PSU brands should I be on the lookout for? I'm not a man of means, so my budget is limited. I was hoping to get something for less then $250. Am I wasting my money though?
