In my apartment if you turn the microwave on and the AC is on, tripped breaker.
Sadly this is in the basement which the landlord has yet to give me a key. So we either knock on his Uncle's door to flip it, if he's home.
Or I stand there for 5-10 minutes picking the lock. Landlord is aware and congratulated me on it. Still no key.
So I could experience this sometimes 5-10 times a week in the summer.
I'm almost certain this is why my 2tb WD Green hdd died.
So I think it's time to get a UPS before the Summer kicks in and I play this game all over again.
I have an i5 2500k, slight OC, gt660 card, about 4 hdds, 1 ssd on it.
I'm looking for 5-30 minutes maybe. Depending if it's a big price point. 5-10 to shut down safely if needed, or if price is still affordable, 30 mins to survive the whole ordeal and not worry about it.
How can I really gauge my power usage? I don't expect to continue gaming or some ridiculousness if it occurred at those times.
