[QUOTE="kristianjohnsen, post: 43107, member: 441"] Re: I think I'm digital desk cursed... "Nobody" uses UPS here - they're considered a novelty, almost. The only regular users I know of are people who set up in-store servers, etc, and they use them to protect data, not filter the mains. In my opinion, a well-designed and modern electronics product should be about as picky about line voltage as a lightbulb :D I also fully agree that it must be a lot more efficient to super-regulate a low-level DC voltage, possibly hooking it up in paralell with a small internal battery, than to rectify and regulate mains voltage, hook it in paralell with big batteries, chop up the voltage to something resembling sine wave, run that into a PSU, transform it down, rectify and re-regulate it.
