Rave said:hehe problem being that my setup is a bit more power hungry, and a 32" lcd and xbox 360, thats why contemplating if i should get a UPS or inverter
a 32inch lcd like my sony at the lowest backlight setting consumes only 58~watts.the xbox 360 will consume less 185watts.so u can expect a backup time of about 25min in apc 1000va model and more then 1hr with the optional batteries.
if u realy want some good back up then u will have to go for the APC Smart-UPS XL 1000VA USB & Serial 230V No Battery,it doesnt have a internal battery and requires a external battery,ups costs around 12k and once u install a high capacity external battery,u will have a backup system with run time of a invertor but with ultra fast switching of a ups with pure sinewave output.
