No problem, brother!

Try this then.

Which one of these products are better for uninterrupted power supply, assuming someone were in the market.

The second product got a fantastic review from an industry insider. Figured that one might be a better choice.

hmmmm second one has more Ws but is more expensive :P

**Dardaigh** · 09-28-2011 05:46 PM

I would have probably gone for the second one too, if only cause it got some really amazing reviews from the people who had bought it before. I go by reviews a lot, when deciding what to buy.

Yeah it is better, but expensive more. If you have money but that.

It's supposed to work that way. Mine's longest life is like 15 minutes or so.

I would say so too. Especially if you have a high end, gaming computer or other very expensive gaming equipment. Just no excuse to leave it all unprotected. Sure you pay a little more up front, but you're saving so much more money by not having to replace destroyed equipment.

Nope, I am not using it but I am not having problems either. I believe it is good if you have problems with the electricity.

Yes, I have a UPS connected on my PC. In India there are many power-cuts, so the computer may get spoiled or the data may get corrupt if it shuts down suddenly because of a power-cut. UPS really helps avoid such situations. It is really helpful while downloading large games from Direct2Drive or such sites because we can keep the download overnight without any worry if we have a UPS!

Even if you don't have problems, it's suggested to have one. It can control the flow of the electricity on your system so you won't be taking in excess power.
