Emmser 0 Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 I swear over the last two years I have lost over $100 due to power outages. Today I was playing a $20 HU and had the guy down to 200 in chips, totally dominating him. Then all of a sudden the power goes out for over an hour. Does anyone have a battery backup or anything for thier computer? Just wanted to get some feedback on what I should get to solve this problem! I don't know what I would do if I was in a big buyin MTT and this happened. Link to post Share on other sites

theresa113 0 Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 APC and Tripplite are 2 good reliable brands. Tripplite is cheaper and I feel it is the better product. Make sure it has a good surge supression as well and a warranty that covers the products that are plugged into it. Many people do not realize that a brown out can be worse than a black out because you can get a surge which will damage everything. Link to post Share on other sites

Emmser 0 Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 I live in Barrie. About 30 minutes north of Aurora. We had huge winds 80km+ today. All I wanted to do was finish the HU match and I wasn't going to play any more because it always happens to me. I swear within 5 hands it would have been over. Link to post Share on other sites
