Finding the right UPS for AW Aurora (Non-ALX)
Hi,
I'm receiving my Aurora (crossing fingers) next Monday
I got a UPS, but not sure if it will be good enough.
When purchasing a UPS, do you get one comparable to your PSU wattage or proportionate to what your system will actually use under max load?
I wanna know, what do yous guys and girls use for UPS?
My AW Aurora Specs:
Cosmic Black, Alienware Aurora Chassis, 875W PSU
Intel Core i7 980 Extreme 6C (3.33GHz, 12MB Cache)
12GB Triple Channel 1600MHz DDR3, 6X2GB
Alienware MM Keyboard, US
21.5" Alienware AW2210 OptX Full HD Gaming Monitor, 21.5"
Single ATI Radeon HD 5870, 1GB GDDR5
600GB - SATA-II, 3Gb/s, 10k RPM, 32MB Cache HDD
Alienware 19-in-1 Media Card Reader
Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium, 64bit, English
Alienware Optical Mouse, MG100
Internal USB Bluetooth
Single Drive: Blu-ray Disc (BD) Combo (Reads BD and Writes to DVD/CD)
Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium
Dell 1525 Network Card
Currently owned UPS specs:
APC Back-UPS ES 550
550 VA / 330 Watt

Ya, that one is too small ... it will only run it a few minutes if that.
I always buy and recommend APC. For my Aurora, I bought an APC XS-1500 for around $200. They also make a 1300 that's a little cheaper.
