I think we all know the benefits of a good uninterruptible power supply, or UPS. These units provide various types of electrical protection for you computer such as battery backup in the event of a power outage, surge protection, and voltage protection. Even if your computer is running in tip-top shape, sudden interruptions or abnormalities in the power it's receiving can turn it into a very expensive doorstop. Think of that one time when you had just finished writing that term paper and were just about to save the final version when *poof* the power goes out. When the power comes back on you confidently push the on button on your computer and nothing happens, or your computer comes back to life but your paper is nowhere to be found. Even if these things don't happen to you, at the very least your geek pride in your system uptime takes a serious hit as you begin counting again in minutes instead of days. All of these situations can be averted with a good quality UPS. In order to fulfill that need, Ultra Products has sent us their 1500 VA UPS.
