Hi Jonathon,<div><br></div><div>My experience is a bit old - so I won't give any models - but bear in mind that you will need to maintain your UPS - it is very messy extracting blown batteries out of the damn things after they've been left for a couple of years on standby (they also fail to provide any backup power in this condition...)</div>

HELLO!<br>
<br>
I've had a fairly new hard-drive fail, probably on account of a load<br>
of unplanned power failures (grrrrrrr, electricians, builders!!!) . .<br>
. but then again maybe it was just a dodgy hard-drive.<br>
<br>
Anyway, so that got me thinking . . . uninterruptible power supply.<br>
<br>
All I'm after here is something that kill keep my Linux PC running<br>
long enough to automatically perform a CONTROLLED shut-down in the<br>
event of some kind of power outage.<br>
<br>
So . . . anyone got any recommendations, advice, stuff to avoid, etc.,<br>
etc. . . ?<br>
<br>
Many thanks,<br>
<br>
