Re: PC shuts off...
Not to rain on anyone's parade but it appears that model is discontinued at APC. It appears they are recommending this http://www.apc.com/products/resource/in ... ku=BK350EI, APC Back-UPS 350, 230V Model BK350EI, as a replacement. I would be wary of it though. It should suit your needs but it never specifically mentions handling brownouts or low voltage. It is most likely fine but I would like to see it written out about it low voltage protection.
I have a Tripplite LC1200. I have had it for about 7 years. It is expensive though. http://www.tripplite.com/en/products/mo ... odelID=208

Sarge if you go with a 300 watt UPS you will probably kill it very fast. If you have a half way decent video card it alone will use 300 watts. Gaming PC's should have (at the very least) 600 and up watt UPS and power supplies.
If you put a power supply or UPS that is not enough watt to feed the innerds it will kill them within about a year.

Re: PC shuts off...
ok. I will look into it further. Hopefully I can find a deal somewhere for a better more powerful model.
Thanks again
