As far as the UPS goes - I don't really see a need to waste money on that. A few lost hours during a power blackout is NOT worth the money - considering that the money could be used to help build another crunching machine. Surge protection is utterly important, but backup is NOT.
I would much prefer any money that we would spend on UPS go toward buying more parts for more crunchers.
I agree babacher, I was seeing they were already planning on getting some 350's, and a 350 is not enough to keep an XP 2500 up, to allow a proper shutdown, I think surge protection is good enough as well. |
