I'm looking for a reliable UPS backup battery with a output of 1200 watts if possible for my PC in my sign and another PC that does not really require much power. I know this is too much for two PC's but i'm planning on upgrading my power supply later on and adding another ati card for crossfire. So does anyone know any good UPS back up device that is reliable and if possible to be cheap? Also post any pros and cons about UPS backup devices. This will be my first time getting one so anything you post on this thread will be appreciated. Thanks.
 
take a look at Belkin, they make many. im not sure about cheap though.
for sure they are heavy so check on line at your local stores. Office depot, walmart. they all carry them. 1200 watt seems like a lot. It will buy you minutes to shut down properly and protection from surge.

I'll do that. Thanks :). I hear that Ultra, APC and CyberPower are some good brands but now i have to find cheap prices because many of them go for $400 even they reach $1000 so i really need to find a cheap one. I dont want to spend that much money for something like that. But i'll check the places you suggested. I'll check Belkin too. I never came across it so i'll definitely check it.

OK.
so... why do you think you need an ups?
is your equipment critical or do you simply want to keep gaming if your power goes out?

1200 watts is a lot, r u sure you're using that much? i got a 850va, 500W, for my server and it only lights up the first load indicator (out of 5).

i got mine because it's old equipment and a sudden power loss might break it :(

i paid $100. wouldn't surprise me if end up paying at least twice that for what you need.
