Hi all,
Havent really done this much before with hardware.
Been asked by a user, to basically have some sort of back up PSU (Or similar)
Its purpose is basically to contiue running the computer for a while (say 5 mins max) after a power cut (Apparently they recieve power cuts once every 3-4 months) and they have had a BSOD / HD Problem that I've had to fix.
What do you guys suggest? as all I could think of at the time was just a surge protector adapter (for cheapness)
In essense, a small 'Battery' to sit in the case, and when the PSU Suddenly loses power, to revert to this secondary source, in order to carry on running. (This could also then trigger an alarm / light or whatever and could also double up as a warning if the PSU itself gave up life)
Pretty sure theres stuff out there, just want experiences / good and bad things to look out for, and rough prices.
Thanks in advance
