UPS recommendations
Anyone have any experience with ups power backup thinking of getting one to run my station when the power fails.
So it can still upload to internet / twitter.
Will need to run the desktop tower / Modem / Lacrosse console

Re: UPS recommendations
Do you need no-break power? If not you can think about the system I use which is a deep cycle battery running a 300watt inverter (Dick Smith) which does a laptop, ADSL modem, a fluro light with plenty of capacity left over.
A desktop, depending on how power hungry it is might be too much for a small inverter. A true UPS will cost more.. etc etc

Re: UPS recommendations
Thanks Guys,
Just wanted something to run for say 30mins after the power gets cut.
Up in the here in the Perth hills - the power goes during most storms (trees over lines).
Might get in touch with Jason - I hear he has an interest in weather stations too
