I don't think I want an exact replacement since I think the old one is under-spec'ed for my system. It was rated at only 185 watts (output) and I now have a 430 watt power supply in my system.
Can anyone recommend a good replacement?
The smallest UPS we have is an APC Smart-UPS 1000, which works fine. We also have a number of Smart-UPS 2200s, which likewise works fine.
Smart-UPS 1000 might be overkill for your setup, but APC in general seems to be the way to go.
When connected to a SuSE box with the serial cable they can be easily monitored with the apcupsd package, that comes with SuSE.
Looks like most of the APC systems advertise USB connection. Does this work on Linux? I do have USB connectors and have no problems with a USB mouse. -- Robert C. Paulsen, Jr. robert@paulsenonline.net
