  After all, a UPS is within IT support right? I"m looking for UPS...but there are no guides. The UPS commonly available are only up to 300 watts. MY computer 4.2Ghz and in crossfire definitely uses around 400 watts(?). So how? Plz help. Thx!

  Read this. It's quite helpful in determining how much VA you need.

  Not enough wattage not voltage amps.

  Power =  Voltage x Ampere?

  I am not familiar with UPS, at first thought i thought you meant delivery

  why the need for an UPS system?

  I don't see the need for it, unless you are living in a country with unstable power supplies.

  Please keep your comments to yourself thanks.

  Me wanting one is nothing wrong.

   

  I just want to be on the safe side.

  Besides, UPS comes with surge protection.

   

  1. I wouldn't want anything to happen to my computer which i spent around 2k.
