Title: Great backup power supply, even refurbished
Product review: I purchased this along with other components to make an Atom/ION media PC and found it to be a perfect "overkill" backup power supply.For the standard PC it is rated to last a good 10-12 minutes if you have an EXTREMELY low-power setup. With my setup, it latest a good half hour... then I aborted the test since the beeping was annoying for the test. In a normal situation, the beeping would be a good indicator to get things taken care of.Now for the con that drops the Ease-of-use rating: APC uses a proprietary cable to interface to USB, rather than a standard port. The cable is surprisingly difficult to find at a reasonable cost. Given that the cable is just a USB->10P10C (much like std ethernet port, but 10 pins), it can cost ~ $2 with self-purchased parts... if you can find 'em...
