I need to purchase an APC Battery Backup for my computer. I am thinking of
the APC 650VA. I live out in the country and I have constant surges and
power outages for no apparent reason. These occurances I feel are playing
havoc on my computer. I have already had to replace my hard drive. Whether
it was due to the power outages and surges I really don't know. I have a
dial-up connection with a second phone line. So at night and on the
weekends, my computer stay on. I shut it down during the day while I am at
work or not at home. I have a Gateway Pentium III, 1000, with soon to have
512MB of Ram. I currently only have 256. Anyway, I was wondering whether
the APC 650 is an overkill or not. Any feedback would appreciated since the
sale goes off in a couple of days. Or any specific recommendations would be
appreciated also. I don't know much about the battery backup selection, but
I do want one that will be sufficient and have automatic shutdown software
when my computer is on and a surge or outage takes place.
Thanks in advance.
