Hello

Im looking for a good UPS that can hold +-15 minutes (or even less). If power were to go out, Id like a popup to come up saying my PC will shutdown/hibernate/etc automatically in 5 minutes if my power is not restored.

Is there any UPS that can do this? Also price is important as I know most are very expensive...

Thank you

It's difficult to answer your question if you don't provide full system specs, including the monitor and other equipement that will be connected to the UPS.

You need a monitor connected to the UPS, but I'll presume that you have an LCD. You should use a pure sinewave UPS like the CyberPower CP850PFCLCD (won't be good for 15 minutes if you will be playing games when there's a power outage). If more hold time is required, the look at the CP1000PFCLCD or the CP1350PFCLCD. Get at least the CP1000PFCLCD if you can afford it. You'll have to visit their site and read about their software to see if it meets your requirements.

I like the APC Smart-UPS, but they are more expensive (worth it to me as I bought them used for a goos price).

Those CyberPower arent avaliable in my area I see :(
