You can put a UPS in ahead of the PC power supply in the control cabinet. We found that helps *a lot*. Thermwood will sell you a kit to do this, but all the kit is is an APC Back-UPS 500 LS with the cord plug cut off and hard-wired into the cabinet wiring. Rather than do that, we wired a NEMA 5-15 receptacle in at that point, and just plug in the UPS to that. Now we can swap in a new UPS easily. (The Back-UPS LS series has a tendency to overheat and die.) Also, they wire in the UPS battery to a spare set of terminals on the main switch. (Otherwise you can't turn it off.) They cut a hole in the side of the UPS to do that; we just left the battery compartment cover off. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
