Heyo, just had a power cut.
I've always thought about getting a UPS since i really don't want my PC getting damaged by a dumb power related issue, and some work on the power lines in my area has brought the thought up again that i should get one, but i have some questions maybe some of you with UPS's can answer.
How long do they last? I've seen some manufacturers say the battery lasts 3-4 years, which isn't very long considering how expensive they are.
What are they like to use day to day? Do they make noise, do they generate heat, are they annoying in any other ways?
I'm using a gaming rig and two monitors but i don't know how much power that consumes in general, the PSU is 850W but obviously i'm not maxing it out all day, so add the two monitors and 850 - 1000w should cover it?
Any help would be appreciated, i only usually get one or two power cuts in a year and i've never had a major issue resulting from one so i may just carry on without, please share your thoughts.
