Title: Inadequate, Noisy, Irritating
Product review: If you want a decent UPS you're going to pay more than $30. This UPS is totally underpowered for a computer sporting a decent processor and graphics card. The moment the computer starts drawing more power than the battery could supply *if* the power was out, you will receive an audible overload warning: a piercing whine which CANNOT be silenced by pushing the "silence" button on the front of the unit. At present the only thing plugged into the battery-backed-up outlets on my 400VA are the CPU itself... not even the monitor is plugged in (and how am I going to shut the machine down if I can't see anything on the monitor?)The 400 VA is USELESS. I strongly recommend you give it a miss and buy a real UPS. It's shocking that the 400 VA is the best UPS HP will offer you if you configure a computer at their website, even if that computer draws more power than the 400 VA can supply.
