So I have a lot of expensive toys on my desk and they draw a good amount of power. I'm lucky enough to rarely lose power where I live, but I'd still like to keep my things safe. I'm also looking for something that is going to help save as much electricity as possible so here's my requirements:
-10 or more outlets
-Lots of power (my PC has a 750W power supply)
-Very low idle draw
-Power saving outlets that shutoff when main (master) device is not in use (preferably 2 masters)
-I don't need a UPS per se, I just want the surge protection (couldn't care about the extra time for file backups)
So right now it seems like the Cyberpower BRG1500AVRLCD http://www.amazon.com/CyberPower-BRG1500AVRLCD-1500VA-Outlets-GENERATION/dp/B00LEFYISA/ref=sr_1_8?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1426286780&sr=1-8&keywords=cyberpower+ups has the lowest idle draw and basic power savings, but it has no power saving outlets from what I can tell.
The APC BR1500G http://www.amazon.com/APC-BR1500G-BACK-UPS-10-Outlet-1500VA/dp/B003Y24DEU/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1426286886&sr=1-2&keywords=apc+ups has those power saving outlets, but I'm not sure how the idle draw is compared to the cyberpower.
ALSO, what I really need is to have a UPS or surge protector with support for 2 master devices with their own respective power saving outlets. One master being my PC and the other one for my guitar rig.
So, I'm not sure what to do here. I can't find a UPS that completely suits my needs or even another UPS that offers the power save outlets with the output I need. I could use a surge protector that has those outlets, but it looks like the best one (APC P11GTV) has too many of those outlets, which would mean I would need my computer to have everything else work. I could buy 2 of these, which would solve all of my problems, but that seems dumb since I will only be needing half the outlets and I'd be spending $100 on a surge protector solution when I could get a UPS for a bit more.
Thanks guys, if you need me to clarify anything please let me know.
