If you’ve seen random clips from my live stream (such as outtakes) floating around YouTube, they were probably done by UncleJohn. Tonight in our GoToMeeting session, UncleJohn demonstrated muvee, which is what he uses to put these clips together for all of you. By the way, you can get a special trial just by following my link.
Do you hear that beautiful silence? The old background noise in my office is now gone. It was coming from a fan inside my UPS, and drove me crazy. I realized I needed something quieter, so went and found an excellent one! A UPS is used when you have machines that you just cannot afford to have go offline in the event of a power outage. Plug your computer and other devices into the UPS, and it will keep them running for you when your electricity is not.
The Back-UPS ES offers APC’s best value for protecting your home and home office computer systems. It provides battery backup power that allows you to work through short and medium length power outages. It also safeguards your equipment from damaging surges and spikes that travel along your utility and phone lines. Award-winning software automatically shuts down your computer system in the event of an extended power outage. Additional features like audible alarms, an LED status indicator, user replaceable battery, push-button circuit breakers and transformer-block spaced outlets make the Back-UPS ES the perfect unit to protect your productivity from the constant threat of power outages and lost data.
This has ten outlets in it, and it’s completely quiet. This is a new series from APC that is greener. Certain outlets will stop pushing electricity to devices that aren’t using it. It can save you money on your electric bill! We have a few of these UPS devices around the house, to help cut our energy costs with gadgets and appliances that we don’t necessarily use that often. I’m very appreciative that APC has thought of this, and are helping us to save money!

I bought an APC Back-UPS ES after I got fed up of regular power outages in the area of Scotland that I live in, and haven’t regretted it.
In fact, I got home last night, having left my PC on all day to download a VMware virtual machine image (Windows 7 Ultimate Beta Build 6956) via BitTorrent, and it was still safely working away while the clocks on just about every other piece of electrical equipment was flashing 12:00.
The UPS informing me when the power-outage had happened, when it had kicked into battery mode and for how long. It’s the best 80 GBP that I’ve spent this year on equipment, well worth the cost.
I’m now considering getting one for our TV setup. My work colleague even has one for his fish tank!

Not only does a UPS prevent a machine from going offline, it’s also just as valuable, if not moreso, than a surge protector. Your average power surge or fluctuation can easily be handled by most power supplies. However, for very quick power or voltage dips, the power supply is not able to compensate. This results in power from the PC components, namely the motherboard, reversing their flow direction, which can do SERIOUS damage to the hardware inside the computer.
A UPS is a 100% necessary accessory for any desktop computer (laptops have their own battery backup) .. I’d consider it the MOST necessary accessory, myself.
