Managed to bag a Dell 1500VA USB 230v for a very good price.:D

Still in APC warranty and with the main rig running 4 x SETI is indicating 33% on the little LED things on the front.

When I turn SETI off, it drops to using just 16% as draw. Have decided am gonna also plug my E6600 into it - well just because I can LOL.

Question, I am using 2/5 indicator lights on the power draw (33%) running just the main rig - no monitor. Is there a formula for calculating how many rigs I can attach before the UPS will not be any use to shut the machines down etc?

Cheers
 
thought so - im surprised at how little draw the main rig actually takes - got the 1500va version as watts to va conversion suggested this was the one i would need
