Re: If there was a power outage...
Blackouts/brownouts have never lasted more than a few minutes so far in my area, thats why I opted for a smaller UPS's. A 1000va UPS is about £100, I got these UPS's for under £30 each. They give enough uptime for the outages in my area so its not much of a concern. As I said, if I have to I have an hour or more of backup in the form of a battery and inverter.

I did have a 1000va UPS but it was "recalled" because of a fault found with them which makes them a potential fire risk. The company never got any more of the fixed batches in stock. This 1000va UPS was only £40, but it was well build except this small flaw (which was down to some of the main components used on the circuitboards as being cheap).
