Alas, it wasn't available. It's either 600VA ones or then 1200VA ones. Nothing in between. I wasn't sure 600VA would be enough. I mean, most of them just had 360W peak wattage. The PowerTree one had 390W but still not enough imo. I measured the power consumption of the PC at load - VERY HIGH LOAD (LinX and Furmark running, and overclocked as well) - and it counted about 370W. All those 600VA UPSs were peaking out. No good! That's why I wanted the 800VA one. They can handle around 480W peak power. So no 800VA ones at Unity, and 600VA being too small, I had to go for a 1200VA.So bought this bulldozer (lol) for Rs. 8500. PowerTree 1250VA/750W S1250P. More than I wanted to spend on a dumb UPS, but it was time to spend money instead of killing my heart cells!!! Sri Lanka never develops!!!</blockquote>
