Well it happened. They cut my power in a Rolling Black out here in SO. CA. But I have a APC 1400 watt back up. I'm typing this in the Dark. I have four machine running my monitor, DSL Modem, Two Hubs and a KVM switch. I don't know it will last. by I'm folding till the END.

Wow, how long did you stay running? I've got a couple of those smart apc ups here as well.

[Ferris]

another example of some serious addiction ... err ... I mean dedication :D

[burn'em]

I'm Still running its beed about 20 min. So Far 9:21PST
The only problem is the Beeping from the APC it driving me up the wall!

[thefly]

ehe. I'd imagine that you'll stay up for about 30 mins.

How long do the blackouts last?

[AmbientFiction]

Woot now that is a true folding god there. Woot Woot

[burn'em]

Well I guess I got about 25min before I got the Shut down alarm from the APC. I start to shut down my machines, when I got the last one shut down the power came back on! Well a reboot never hurts.

Right-on burn'em!! Is this (http://www.apcc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=SU1400RM2U&language=en&LOCAL.APCCountryCode=WW) the unit you have? I spec. these a lot for networking closets that have 3-4 switches. They're really nice boxes...really pricey too. :) About 30 min backup power..right in line w/ what you got. Looks like they deliver!! Way to contribute!

No it the older version of this one http://www.apcc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=SU2200NET&language=en&LOCAL.APCCountryCode=us
In case the link doesn't work it the Smart-UPS 2200

I don't know if you read an old post of mine where I say my wife owned her own buiness and I get all the old equipment. So when I need something I have her up-grade. It a beatiful thing.

That thing is awesome. WTG on keeping it going all that time.
I love my UPS even though it's a just a belkin. Kept me up a few times when the lights went out but nothing like that.

[burn'em]

Ya ups are neet they give you a nice clean power supply.
Most people don't ever think about getting one but I it's a very necessary part of any good system. Unless you are Stanman then you would need a power plate. lol

[burn'em]

man what a bummer!
When the power when out I check my laptop in the other room and the cpu speed stepping window was up. So I click OK to reducthe cpu speed so the battery would last longer Folding.
When the power came back on I didn't check it the same window was up to change back so it wasn't Folding! It was like that all day lost some wu on that. Bummer!
