woah, 30 minutes and still running

[Luis G]

this UPS rules

 

[Q]

What kind is it???

 

[Luis G]

the brand is TDE (i think it is mexican), 1000VA, running the monitor, cable modem, speakers and cpu

 

[Leslie]

he's offline now, but he wanted me to let you all know it didn't last too much longer...

 

[Q]

Still, 30 min is damn good. My UPSessss are only 350va, fortunately I haven't had to find out first hand yet, but I'd bet I get less than 10 min, maybe less with the 17" monitor.

 

[Professur]

A ups is only intended to give you enough time for a controlled shut down.

 

[tommyj27]

or until you can pull the downed powerline in through the window and patch it into the power supply

 

[Luis G]

the aprox backup time was of 35 minutes, damn good.

 

[Professur]

What size monitor?

 

[Luis G]

ohhh don't go there

 

[Professur]

 

[Luis G]

14"

[Professur]

* looks to the right of his laptop at a 14"
* looks at his 13" laptop

I think you missed the thread about my 17" going to warranty, then borrowing a 14" from a friend (that went south) and borrowing yet another 14" from my sister0s bf (which is the one i'm using right now)
