It comes with software that you can setup to shutdown your system at any point you like, default is 2 min with no power.

...estimated runtime of 25 minutes...

I'm curious, have you ever pulled the plug and timed how long all your equipment kept running? I had a UPS rated at 700VA and it kept my stuff running for only about 15 seconds when the power went out, lol. I got rid of it.

Total draw is 21% of the UPS, 189 WATTS, and an estimated runtime of 25 minutes.
I especially like how easily it switches over to prevent the power yo-yo you describe.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Looking-for-a-decent-UPS-that-can-handle-my-PC-27751889 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 11:51:22 EDT Looking for a decent UPS that can handle my PC http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Looking-for-a-decent-UPS-that-can-handle-my-PC-27751588 What would you recommend?
Here are my specs:
CPU: Core i5 2500k
RAM: 8GB DDR3
HDD: Seagate 500GB SATA3
DVD: LG DVD-+R/RW SATA2
SoundBlaster X-FI ( PCIe with front drive bay thing)
Motherboard: ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3
Onboard: Intel HD 3000, 10/100/1000 LAN

My main concern is when the power 'flickers' and it shuts everything off and then it comes back on with in 5-10 seconds.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Looking-for-a-decent-UPS-that-can-handle-my-PC-27751588 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 10:02:28 EDT
