looks like a great deal for 36 bucks. I know it won't have alot of runtime, but I'm mainly looking for better power conditioning.

I wouldn't trust a UPS with 600VA and AVR at that price. Typically you're looking at around 80 to 100 USD for one like that. I'd spend the extra cash if you've got it just to be on the safe side. You know what they say; if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Read the threads more carefully. Hes not talking about a PSU.

caffine deprivation dyslexia is a widely underated source of thread faux pas

when you have to ask is this too good to be true
you already know the answer
when it comes to weighting the risks of such deals
well a bad soundcard is unlikely to fry anything

its likely better than nothing
but such items are infrastructure investments, and thus have a considerably longer return on investment than most computer aquisitions
spend accordingly

I think hes saying buy an APC, Dynex, CyberPower or other reputable one instead.
