Hi, I've got a linux machine that runs 24hrs a day, problem is, we're prone to split second power cuts which reset the system. I've been OK so far but at the moment were not just getting them through the night but during the day too. I don't like the idea of my machine suddenly loosing power it's rather similar to having your still beating heart wrenched from your chest and then pushed back in a couple of seconds later. With a budget of max �70 I want a cheap ups. Can anyone reccomend one from experience and also could someone answer these few questions. Are the batteries constantly recharging? How much extra will it cost on my electricity bill? At �70 how much uptime will I get with it? More than a minute? If I was to buy an old second hand one which would be a good buy? Is there anything I need to be wary of? Thanks Andy
