Looking at getting this one below. I have read it's better to have a PFC SineWave UPS. CyberPower CP1000PFCLCD PFC Sinewave UPS 1000VA 600W PFC Compatible Mini-Tower https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00429N192 I own EVGA SuperNOVA 750 P 2 PSU. post edited by MSim - 2017/02/09 00:26:03 #1 13 Replies Related Threads

No seriously, I don't know anything about battery backups. I know $7k would be a little rough for computer power. I will be watching this thread to see how it goes with other users that have experience. TSgt Matthew Schwartz SrA Bryan Bell A1C Matthew Seidler SSgt Joseph Fankhauser #2

Except I'm looking to get the 1500VA version. Just need to pull the trigger.

Bought it in 2012 and it is still using the original batteries with reasonable holdup time & passing the self-checks. I would strongly recommend Cyberpower's true-sinewave stuff. Had too many issues with APC batts lasting 3 years or less. For the most recent APC UPS I bought even the battery original to the unit was bulging and nearly impossible to remove when the APC self-test failed three years in. Have water, will cool. #12
