Back in January I put together a new desktop, but for some reason I never got around to buying a new UPS to go with it. So today, while I was out picking up some other items, I used a $20 gift card I had kicking around and picked up an APC BE325R at Office Depot for $19.99. Not a bad price.

The BE325R is discontinued, and it will only give me a minute or two of backup power, but I think that’s all I need. I turn off my desktop when I’m not using it anyway, so I just need something to condition the incoming power and to give me enough time for an orderly shutdown if the power goes out.

Right now it’s doing it’s initial 16-hour charge…. we’ll see how it goes.
