What smart UPS should I get

[Log1cbomb]

I am looking for a Smart USP with at least 1200 wats that can plug into a normal home outlet, these are the two I am looking at,

16 gig Corsair dominator Platinum 2800 mhz ram
2 nvidia 980 graphics cards liquid cooled
Koolance liquid cooling system
4 512 gig Samsung 850 Pro ssd's
Asus x99 motherboard


2 27 inch asus vg248q monitors etc.

I'm not seeing a $200 difference personally, sure the APC unit has a nice stand but I'd go for the TrippLite and save $200.

Although the price difference is $200, but in my opinion, you should choose the UPS best suited to your needs. I Would highly recommend that you should get exactly the UPS unit you require with the features you want.

I have a similar setup and use 3 UPSs, one 1500 VA UPS for the computer, another smaller one for the monitors, and third one for modem / router / switch, gives me about 15 minutes of run time when the power goes out.

With 2 monitors, computer and all network equipment plugged into 1 1500 VA ups you are looking at very little up time, not even a few minutes.
