    Sorted.
    I suggest the OP gets down to WHSMith and buys himself some top shelf magazines. Least when the power cuts out it will not effect his Pot Noodling. UPNS.

    From experience a mate had with APC kit several years ago, check out the software side to make sure the UPS can initiate a controlled shutdown on whatever kit you get.

    He was running some non-mainstream kit and ended up rolling his own.

    started a topic Too many power cuts here

    Too many power cuts here

    Rural living has its advantages but too many power cuts. Can anybody recommend a decent UPS that'll keep at least four machines plus a router running for at least a few minutes?

    ClientCo have offered to pay since I work from home.
