Thank you for all your comprehensive technical references. I just wanted to know if there is any way to save some money buying other brands than APC. After reading your posts I will definitely stay with APC.
Salicru, OpenUPS - I have never heard about these brands/solutions. Thanks. > I am not sure about "supported", I wanted to say that you can manage it smoothly using OpenBSD. BTW, do you have any experience with 12V DC small UPS that can be smoothly use with routers only (PCEngines/Soekris). I am looking for an "out of the box" small, silent and low power consumption device that can shutdown my home OpenBSD router when the power is loss. I would like not to use 230V device fot that purpose, which consumes more power when compare to 12V devices.
