    ATI HDTV Tuner

    I have the ADS Tech Instant HDTV PCI card and it's a POS. It worked for a month. Warning: stay away from this card. Customer service will pass the buck to software and software will say it's a hardware issue.

    Power Supply / UPS Guide

    What exactly is so "silly"? I am a DIY. I built my own computer and I fix my home appliances myself. A UPS IS a battery, an inverter, and a charger built into an ABS case. You are paying top dollar for them to put it all in one case. A true UPS runs off the battery through an inverter (many...

    Power Supply / UPS Guide

    any "switch to" would be a millisecond lag wouldn't it? Unless perhaps it has a power supply which maintains voltage while it's switching. Tigerdirect classifies it as a battery backup. Unless the technology changed it's not uninterrupted. Using your system uninterrupted is different that...

    Power Supply / UPS Guide

    Ok but is it true that it is always consuming 125watts continuously? haha! This was funny regarding lightning storms I wish there was truth in labeling as it seems yours is a true UPS Basically, a car battery like a $100 sealed optima battery (I have one in my car) and a power inverter...

    Power Supply / UPS Guide

    Tripp - the one you linked to. Matt, the 9th word of the review says "Tripp" did you miss it? I now find this: So maybe it just doesn't matter. If there is a lightning storm unplug your computer. Surge protection is only for spikes/dirty power from other appliances messing up your house...

    Power Supply / UPS Guide

    I think I'll shop around at this review does not sound good: And the Ultra does not state how much time the computer operates without ac. I can drive myself crazy shopping, looking at specs. Does anyone know of a review comparison of UPS in the $100+ range?
