doniam...Yes, I thought it was a good deal...
Though with using all three UPS sockets running my computer, DSL Modem, and one of my four monitors, the battery charge will last only a few minutes. There are more expensive models at Staples that will give you more battery life.
The reason I got mine was we have a lot of power surges here at our home, and the power supply to my computer got fried on one of them even with a surge protector, so that it was hard to boot up again...This will enable me to skip the power surges and keep things running. If it's more than a power surge, I will have time to do a proper shutdown, even though with Windows XP it's not as critical as with a lesser version.
