[QUOTE="Eric Eskam, post: 76186, member: 2124"] Re: Hey digital console users don't forget your UPS Not for me. I've been using them on servers for over three years with no issues - have performed flawlessly through power outages or brownout/spikes. CyberPower has been my go to brand for several years now, and you can't beat the value. APC has been going down in quality and riding on their name for years now. My favorite online (double conversion) UPS vendor was S.M.A.R.T. but APC bought 'em quite a while ago. I used to be able to pick out the APC's that were based on S.M.A.R.T. designs, but they have slowly been replaced by cheaper designs :( I've also had several failures with TrippLite, a brand that I used to trust. Too bad companies keep cheapening their designs :( If it's going to be a crap shoot then I might as well pay less. EDIT: and to be clear, I use the CyberPower double conversion models. They do (obviously) regulate voltage and not just boost. Yup, they are a couple hundred more but worth it. [/QUOTE]
