Reddit mentions of CyberPower CP1350AVRLCD Intelligent LCD UPS System, 1350VA/815W, 10 Outlets, AVR, Mini-Tower

BBU's are never a waste of money! There is no better feeling than seeing the lights go out and having a computer running. Also, surge protectors only work on OVER current, they will do nothing for you in the middle of a brownout. Brownouts can hurt your computer just as much as a surge. Also, $200 is too much. Check this out. I have one and I love it.

1350AVR reporting in. I love this thing. I get 18 minutes on a 24" monitor, 6950, Phenom II X4 and 3 HDD's.

Oh yeah, it's really really heavy.

EDIT: those 18 minutes include my modem and router. If the tower / monitor is off, I get 400 minutes of wifi.

I'm using the CyperPower CP1350AVRLCD. It is compatible with my DS1512+, which is a pretty good indicator that it works on other Synology models.

I purchased this about 2 years ago. It still runs great.

My PC has a 750W PSU, i7-3930k, 2x6950, 5xHDD, 1xSDD + 5.1 receiver + 2x23" LCD monitors + 1x32" LCD TV.

With the 32" LCD TV off, I get about 12-14 minutes of runtime with normal light usage ~340W. During heavy usage, say, the Metro level in BF3, I only get about 4 minutes of battery time because my consumption has gone up go ~625W

Other features include the auto shut off, and automatic voltage regulation, which comes in handy for places with less than reliable AC.

I've been adding them along over time. My personal workstation has a 1325VA on it. All of networking (e.g. core switch, Google Fiber, Firewall) has a 1000VA attached.

Wife's work computer has something similar as well. They're handy if you can live with the incessant beeping when the power's out ;)

Get a UPS. I currently have this one which affords me 20 mins or so before the battery dies. I believe if you hook it up via usb it also has software you can install that will auto shutdown your PC for you in the event of a power outage.

A UPS will also combat what killed your mobo. When the voltage from the outlet fluctuates like that a good UPS will regulate the power going to your PC and keep it at a steady 120v.

it did for me.. similar here I swapped power supplies and RMA'd my video cards but nothing seemed to fix the coil whine. I will note the battery backup didn't completely get rid of it, reduced it enough were I couldn't hear it unless I opened my case. Have the Fractal Define R5 which has good sound insulation.

I picked up this UPS - https://www.amazon.com/CyberPower-CP1350AVRLCD-Intelligent-1350VA-Mini-Tower/dp/B000OFXKFI

I have this one. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000OFXKFI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's done me well these past couple of years, enough power to keep my PC on for 30 minutes or so after an outage so I don't have to worry about rushing to save something. Also the brown outs don't bother me or my PC/Monitor/Router/Modem anymore.
I have an EVGA 750G2 PSU.

Assuming the total draw is within the threshold I'd just plug both PSUs into a power strip or UPS and then plug that into the Wemo. I wouldn't want to have my mining rig plugged directly into the wall anyway.

I plan on getting a UPS for this eventually but I'm pretty sure you have to get a an Active PFC UPS and an non-active PFC UPS will not work. I'm basing this on when I purchased a UPS for my media server. I bought the non-active one I linked initially and it didn't work, did more research, and had to buy the active one that I linked which did work. Newer ATX PSU's require it I believe. For the time being I'm just using a power strip to plug it in.

a PS3 draws right about 200W, I would guess the TV draws about 450W but can't find a good power spec on it. So, you'd need a UPS that's got a capacity of at least 650W. Just based off which one you were looking at it seems this one is the next size up with 810W.

For the aerators, we bought a bunch of these Baby Bubbles aerators for bait buckets. They say they aerate up to 3 gallons, but it's more like 55, easily - great for sponge filters, too. The AA battery version lasts about 19 hours.

For everything else, CyberPower 1350VA UPS. Since we live in Pinellas, we can turn the air off and unplug the heaters to reduce load on the battery.

I really hope what I did is enough. We had to evacuate, and I'm fearing for my German blue Rams and my apisto. If it comes to it guys, eat the damn tetras!

  SCENARIOS:

  Test involves TX on the Baofeng.
  
  
• PSU plugged into KAW - drawing up to 8A
  
  
• KAW by itself in wall - 1A
  
  
• UPDATE: Multimeter on the plug of the PSU (no KAW inline) - validates the PSU is drawing at least 1A when the HT is TXing.
  
  As you implied, the inline fuses on the radio never popped, so I know the mobile wasn't actually drawing more than 15A. So either the KAW is being interfered with, or the PSU is.
  
  As far as the UPS blowing up - it was already drawing 325W powering my computers, so I assume that 50W on the mobile might have put it over its rating. I can't believe it didn't have some overcurrent protection (that works).
  
  

I just purchased and installed this UPS for my desktop. Is there anything I should know when it comes to these things? Do I just plug in my PC and that's it? I'm not sure if this thing is even worth it because CyberPower says that "true sine wave" is better for desktops and this one is simulated sine wave.

Of course, happy to help!

22K! That is insane!! I'm very jealous! I ran with ~9000 for years, now I'm at about 12,000... that must be a beast!

There is cheaper DAS units as well... I have seen a 4 drive one that doesn't do RAID's for 80-130 dollars. I think I saw a few on newegg. I say this if your looking to save some money... some people can't afford a nice NAS with nice drives etc... as it can quickly cost thousands.

Correct, a NAS would be connected through your LAN. I doubt there would be any lag if both your server and the NAS are on the same network and hardwired (ethernet). You would have incredibly fast times. Also just a helpful tip regarding speeds/throughput... most hard drives (especially the cheaper large 3.5" HD's) don't have good enough read/write speeds... People use RAID's to improve these, however typically will not get anywhere near full GB read/write speeds. It all depends on how nice of HD's you get, how many, and the RAID configuration. But don't worry about it too much, because my highest bitrate movie is only 75mbps (not even MBps)...

Correct, so if you loose your public IP or the ISP drops your internet, your local network would remain up and be fine. (Unless you have a power outage and the router turns off at your house...) But if its just the Internet outage, you can still watch all your Plex content and see it just fine locally (ethernet or wifi). The server and NAS would be able to talk to one-other without any issues as well, as the connection doesn't leave your LAN. I actually put my server on a UPS to help protect the server (more the HD's) in case of power surges and even short term power outages. I can now run my entire network and Plex server for about an hour and a half on battery backup alone. Unfortunately my TV doesn't have a UPS... so I'm limited to streaming on a laptop or phone that is charged... first world problems I guess? lol

Yes depending on how you RIP them, 12-15TB seams like it should be plenty of storage. Also if you RIP them and make them slightly smaller files (Like 20-30GB) you can easily save a TON of space. I honestly have not been able to really see a difference between my 25GB files and my 75GB files.... HEVC is another great way to insure that you save as much space as possible. Just be sure your server/clients can use it! Maybe do a few tests first?Test 1) Try doing HEVC to see that your server and clients can support it.Test 2) Try to RIP the same movie in full lossless, and another with something like 25GB HEVC etc... then watch them and see if you can really tell a difference.

Also I would keep in mind that if you RIP them in full quality (say a 75gb movie). It is streaming at 70mbps... that means if you want to watch that movie outside your home... you not only have to have very good (at least 75mbps upload) at your house, but you also must have 75mbps downloading speed wherever you are at trying to watch it. Transcoding files that big can be extremely hard on the server as well, so keep that in mind and maybe test out a few transcodes before your RIP your entire library.

This is why I have an entire movie library of smaller 1-5GB movies, and an entire 2nd movie library for my 4K UHD, HDR content. You can also use Plex's "optimize" feature to optimize a lower bitrate one for people remotely.

Yes, the NAS is perfect for the storage closet! Just throw it in, power it up and get it on the Network and forget about it. You can treat it like your personal "Cloud Storage". If money is not a concern, I would go with a NAS for sure. You likely wouldn't need to upgrade for the rest of your life... and can use it for all sorts of stuff (Computer backups, Phone backups, and of course Plex movies/music/tv shows, pictures etc...) A 6 bay might be more than what you need, but would be extremely scaleable and could easily allow for a 2 drive failure, so you wouldn't have anything to worry about.

Lastly, I would use a RAID Calculator to help determine what size drives you need. Remember that different RAID's will lose some of your overall storage available. So play around with it to see which ones allow you to have more drives failed, and which ones give you the storage you want. (typically "Less Storage" RAIDs means more drives can fail and its more redundant and faster speed/performance, "More storage" RAIDs means less drives can fail, and typically less redundant and less speed/performance)

If money is NOT a concern and your needing/wanting roughly 12-15TB of storage. I would plan to have a little extra for growing room...I would get a 6 bay NAS, with (4) 6TB Drives, configured in a RAID 6. It's not a perfect setup right now, but is laying a very solid foundation for you to grow into for many years to come.This would get you realistically around 11TB's of storage, and you would be able loose 2 Drives without any data loss. You also get 4 times the read speeds, which is fantastic for streaming out to others. I would then start ripping movies... and see where you get to... You may find you don't even use that much, but if you do... you can easily drop in 1 more 6tb drive bringing you to a total of 18tb. Then for your "wiggle room" you can drop in yet another drive bringing you to a grand total of 24TB of storage. (Same 2 disks can fail and 4 times read speed).If your buying a nice NAS (Like Synology) and using quality reputable drives (Like WD RED's), along with a very conservative RAID configuration (Like RAID 6). You will likely NEVER have any storage issues. The only thing I would do to further guarantee this, is to throw the NAS on a UPS to insure power outages don't get the best of the drives, and shut down the NAS if the UPS is going to run out of battery.... (this can be automated).

Again for a more budget build, you can simply just attach (2) 8TB external drives, mirror them and have 16TB of storage to use, with double the read speed. *Bonus, you can get 2 more to back up everything to*This would be just a few hundred dollars compared to nearly $1500 dollars for the above setup... AND you can later shuck (take apart the casing of an external drive) and add the drives to a DAS or NAS.

I can not speak from experiance, but here in the U.S I have a UPS for our DVR/Cable box and Router. That way when the power goes out we can still use laptops, and get the TV on briefly. AT&T gave us this and I it works well and has an 8 Hour Battery life.

The one I have has no computer interaction, its just a battery that outputs power when the power goes out. Amazon has this, which seems to be fairly good. Has 8 outlets and computer controlls for to regulate various settings

I'm sure someone else on here can tell you more, but I hope this can give you some more foundation.

Try this. A voltage regulator/ups will make sure your power is always clean, saving wear and tear on your expensive audio gear. The battery backup is great, you'll never lose a session.

I went with this one but their are many different sizes for different needs. After doing some research I learned there are also 3 different types of UPS's and I decided that "Line-Interactive" was best for my situation.
