Hello --
I'm putting together my first build ever -- with A LOT of help from the folks here. So now I'd like to protect it from outages and surges that are frequent in my area. My whole-house generator kicks on in about 10 seconds, but that's not fast enough so my computer shuts down.
Here's what I will have:
PSU: Silverstone 600W 80+ Gold Modular SFX
Display: HP E241i Display
Anything else I need to consider? What specs exactly do I need to factor in when purchasing one?
- I might connect my TV to the computer, so do I need to decide on that pre-purchase of UPS unit?
- what about for External HD?
- how about other peripherals that are wired in the system, but not necessarily plugged into the unit?
Thanks for any insight!
p.s. I don't know how to link parts for the build into the forum msg...
