Tripp Lite by Eaton Digital LCD UPS Systems - Tower - USB - 10 x AC Power

This is for a powerful, yet dated, computer build. So much so that the unit that was replaced by this one (from a competitor) would give an alarm if the computer system was under a significant load. What I really like about this model is the readout on the front. Once one knows how, one can make the front readout give all kinds of useful information. Under full load, my computer system pulls ~550 watts. This unit handled it, no problem. One caveat, the plugs are very tightly compacted. As such, if one were to plug in a wall wart style plug, it may take more than one plugs worth of room. Thus blocking other outlets. Easily overcome by looking within your favorite e-retailer for "short extensions". Anything approximately 1 foot should do. Nature of the beast for such a small unit. On that subject, the footprint of this unit is very manageable. imagine a 2 slice toaster's width and height, and 2 toaster lengths. The unit didn't have too much time to settle in before its first test. As I was putting the unit through its paces, as it were, my wife came into the room to see if I had noticed the 10 second brownout that had just happened. As I had recently put the unit on silent, no I did not. Under full load, my monitor didn't even dim which, after some time in service on the competitor's model, it had. I've not had the unit long, but it seems to be working just fine. Time will tell. As such, time is on my side with the extensive insurance policy.

This works just great. I have my TV, Home Theater system, UVerse receiver and internet modem plugged into it and it shows a very low load. I had a storm come through a few months ago that blew out my TV and Uverse and had to replace it all. I feel more secure knowing that everything is protected. I didn't notice any smell at all that some others complained about. Also, mine worked perfectly when I first set it up and still does. I'm very happy!
