boomka's Journal: and I thought one couldn't find a cheap UPS for home

Bought a pretty cool UPS(Uninterruptible Power Supply) for our computers from Belkin. Only costs 40$ and still good enough to have 15mins backup power on 4 slots. It's also very small, like a surge protector (well, almost). Power in our apartment has been pretty unstable in the last several months - recently almost everyday we had "outages" of a second or so. I thought that our comps were doomed to break, but then just in case I did a search on Froogle and among all these huge scary 1000$ UPSs I found this one for 40$! So far it's been 3 days and it works perfectly ;) We'll wait and see, but for now, I am happy ;)
