Well, a piece of cardboard and some adhesive tape should fix /that/ problem. Pray your PSU in the machine itself doesn't fail. If your UPS has a decent surge filter and is fast to ramp up the voltage should the main supply fail or show brownouts, then the risk may be small enough. -- Matthias Andree "Those who give up essential liberties for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin
