Worth getting a UPC?

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
I work for the company that owns APC and I can get ups units severely discounted, up to 50% no tax. Is it worth getting one just to have it?

It just depends on what you use your computer for.

My power here sometimes is bad with the lights flickering and such so I use a power conditioner to keep the line clean and the voltages as constant as possible to prevent my PSU from slowly dying.

It is nice to have if your area is prone to blackouts or brownouts.

I see no reason why you wouldn't want one and you get 50% off too so that is pretty good. I'd get one if I could afford it. biggrin.gif

I personally wouldn't waste the money unless I lived in an area with dirty/unreliable power, or if I was running some sort of server.
My company actually sells APC products too smile.gif good UPCs.
