I've got an existing Battery Backup from APC (ES-500), but it doesn't work with my current system. According to the APC website wizard it should but during tests the system just shuts down when the power is cut.
This is my current set-up (everything stock, no overclocking):
Asus P5E motherboard
Core2 Quad Q6600 2.4 GHz
2 x 2GB DDR2 800
BFG GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB
Corsair 520HX 520 watt PSU
1 each SATA drive
1 each DVD±R Burner
Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit
(The only thing I see changing would be doubling the RAM and Windows 7 64-bit)
Is anybody running a similar set-up, and can recommend a good battery backup device?
I would not have anything else serviced by the battery; no monitor, etc. Just the Tower.
My existing battery backup works for my Windows Home Server. So I will let that unit service only the server and get a new one for my work station.
