I soon will be constructing a PC based around a soyo K7V Dragon+ motherboard and have a lot of questions.
One item that has been brought to my attention is the uninterruptable power supply. A friend mentioned it to me and said that the primary benefit would be the power filtering these units provide that eliminate various problems like monitor flicker, low level buzzes in speaker systems, and generally save electronics from wear and tear. I would also need a surge protector fall all my PC/stereo components that will be used in unison.
But, after looking at a few uninteruptable power supply/surge protection/filtering combination devices with multiple outlets, I noticed that they had 300 watt power ratings. Now, I know that the power supply I am looking into has a 350 watt power rating, the monitor a 140 watt power consumption, and my stereo receiver (Sony STR-DE925) is a 18 kilogram (40 pound) beast that is sure to draw it's fair share of power too not to mention various extras i'd want to plug in. What is the meaning of the 300 w power rating listen on the various uninterruptable power supplies -- is it per outlet? My budget for such a device max's around $200 and thats a painful sum at that. Should i drop the idea of a UPS?
Being that the main features I want are surge protection and filtering, are there economical alternatives?
