There's nothing like waking up to an idle desktop, a login screen, and one system down altogether to start your day. UGH!
Apparently I lost power sometime b/w 4am - 5am, and the only thing I could think of was how many struct's I lost out on. (Does this mean I'm addicted?:)) Now, I'm getting ready to do what I should've done a long time ago - buy a UPS or three. I have a pretty fair selection to choose from at work and could use some input from you guys.
What I need are ones that I can configure to shutdown the system after say 5 min's of power loss. One unit would work w/ two Win 2K boxes that share a monitor, and just crunch 24/7. The two brands I have to choose from are APC & Smartlink in various wattages. Based on the very general info. I've given, anyone care to add their opinions? BTW, I'm especially interested in the configurable shutdown.
TIA
