[NBLUG/talk] UPS for brownouts

[Walter Hansen]

On the inexpensive side, I've got a couple APC UPSes free or cheap 
(because they no longer worked well) and then just replaced the 
batteries with ones from HSC. HSC also takes in the old batteries for 
free. Just make sure that the UPC actually lights up and isn't dead 
dead. There are a ton of these things that get tossed when the battery 
goes. There's a pallet full of them at the goodwill where house right 
now, but I don't know if you can buy them. I think the batteries are 
typically $20-30.
