    Ups

    I am considerign throwing in my APC 1500 UPS into my trunk just after the inverter just in case somethign doesn't shut down or crawls back to life. I have a few spares I pulled from ym server rack and figure of they can keep a 2CPU athlon running for a <b>while</b> I may not ever need to turn of my car computer of at all (almost).

    Comments?

    I'll double check when I go down to the server room. They are enterprise UPSes not the dinky $80 ones you can get in staples so its up there.

    depends on the inverter you're using to run the whole setup. Alot of the cheaper inverters are modified sine, and have problem running some things...one of which is UPS backups. I don't know too much on the subject, and am just going off what i have previously read on these forums. Do a quick search on inverters, modified sine inverters, and UPS backups.
