[QUOTE="Archive7, post: 980260"] We had a sudden power cut yesterday afternoon in the Tel Aviv area which lasted for about two hours. I got a few seconds of power cut that shut down my PC and then the power came back after a short while but the PC wouldn't start and was beeping like hell so I switched off the power supply main switch, waited for about 20 minutes and then the PC worked as normal. Traffic lights didn't work for two hours. in the already congested Tel Aviv traffic. I took this as a final warning and thought it is about time I had a UPS just in case. After consulting with a friend who was against the idea of spending money on a UPS, I went out and bought a suitable UPS which is supposed to have a 15 minutes running in battery mode. I am thinking maybe I can add a small fan that doesn't need too much power and also a LED table lamp just in case a power cut happens at night. Do you think a UPS is a must have unit and did it help you in any way in the past? [/QUOTE]
