[sci.electronics] need suggestion for UPS for 386 System

cheng@cbnewsh.att.com (wan-hong.steve.cheng) (12/20/90)

I'm in the process to purchase a 386 machine (33 MHZ, 200 M hard disk) 
which will be running UNIX.  I want to have an uninterruptible power system 
to go along with the 386.  Such a UPS will have interface to 386 so that 386 
can orderly shut down in the case of power failure if running unattended.

The built-in power supply for the 386 is 200 W and I'm thinking of at least 
450W of UPS output.  I have checked out a few stores.  Here is what I have
found:

TrippLite BC450LAN	~$350	(450 W)
TrippLite BC750LAN	~$450	(750 W)

TrippLite OMINI450LAN	~$380	(450 W)

American Power Conversion 600LS	~$520	(600 W)

I'll appreciate it if netters can pass along their experiences regarding these
brands or others.
