It's dope.
LPT: get a UPS with USB ports, so when charging phones or tablets you're not going from DC --> AC --> DC

Your new best friend. Power went out for about an hour one time and I didn’t miss a beat. Plug your modem, monitor, pc and wheel into that bad boy and you never have to worry about a surge or the power going out ever again.
This is my current go-to with my current setup, but it can be a bit more expensive than some will want to shell out:

A cheaper alternative is, which also has less expensive versions as well, but they have less volt-amps, so will not power your system for as long. I tend to oversize the UPS as a just-in-case, giving my system ample time to shut down properly on its own.

I run the stove plugged into an APC 850VA UPS/surge protector. Do you think that is insufficient? Is there something better I should be using to protect it from voltage spikes?
I got the older generation of this UPS for around $50 as a Lightning Deal to try out. A few months later I bought another one. A year after that I bought the new one.
Now I've got one for my NAS/Router/Modem. One for my TV/Stereo/HTPC. One for my Desktop/Printer. Total investment... around the cost of a last-years-model color wifi laser printer.
I don't have to worry about frying my sensitive electronics when (for example) the power surges during a severe thunder storm.
Half the time I only notice the power "flickered" because my oven clock is blinking.
What do you guys know about UPSs? I bought an 850w APC thats giving me issues. At first I had my stereo receiver, a 42" TV, my PC (750w PSU), my 28" monitor, and a USB hub all plugged into it and in the middle of the night it started beeping. one long continuous beep. then I unplugged everything but the PC, hub, and monitor and it was still doing it. seems it does it on start up too. I left everything off with the UPS plugged in and off (to charge, I guess) and it still did it. Any ideas?
Edit- sorry guys. It’s actually brad new. Only been using it a couple days
I have this power supply, and I want this backup UPS. I read a bunch of things about pure-sine requirement or whatever so now I'm not sure if this UPS will work with my PSU but I can't find anything online- can anyone direct me to resources or otherwise help me find the answer? edit: in case anyone asks here is my build https://pcpartpicker.com/user/wendon0/saved/6ZbD3C
