APC battery backup question?
i just bought a battery backup, in particular this one:
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...9826&CatId=233

and it says that it supports up to 330watts(if im not mistaken)? im sure my computer right now in my signature doesn't take up that much, even on load, but in a few months i will be upgrading to a i7 rig w/ gtx200 series card, etc. and i would want to know if this battery backup would still be powerful enough to support it even under maximum load? if not can someone suggest an estimate on a backup unit i can buy, i haven't opened this one yet just in case i need a more powerful one.


thanks in advance !

I would bet that is way too close for an I7 and would bet you would need a 450 to 500 watt Ups.

The system in my machine specifications and the router, VoIP adapter, and two 8 port gigabit switches peaks out at around 320 watts when under full load.
