Hi Guyz
I have APC AVR-500 now .. purchased in 2000, but its givin some problems .. changed the battery still not workin properly.
So .. I think its better to take a new one now
(My config: AMD Athlon64 2800+, 768MB Ram, ASUS K8N, geforce5200, 15"monitor)

1. APC 500va is coming under 2k .. is it best
a.Plz give me options may be in 800va
b.is there any ups comin with a timer on & timer off
(this may sound strange but i thought may be its available)
c. is apc has one model for desktp pc .. or more than 1?

2. Tell me about the TV Tuner card with FM
which one is good.
what we need to know when buyin one.

Please tell prices too

Regards

go get compro tv gold pvr/fm or pinnacle . NEVER BUY PIXELVIEW - IT SUCKS.

As for ups , buy wipro or apc. AVOID DLINK

Tech Com TV tuner cards are available around 1k, u can go for it. Even pinnacle is gud.


Many UPS options are available these days.

U can ask ur computer wala for the UPS, he can guide u the best as he knows wats available in ur city n wat is gud.

My friend has bought microtek 800 va double battery for 2350 rs . here in lamington road mumbai some three months ago .. gives him upto 25-30 minutes backup time with 17 inch monitor and 2.6 c northwood pentium 4 ....but it does not have any protection for lan or modem line ..

microtek 800 va double battery comes for 2350 rs & APC 500vz comes for around Rs.1900

I think its better to go for Microtech bcoz of more backup time..
but APC has more reliability as in my area there not much problem of power-cuts.

Is Microtek reliable .. ??

APC India Site: *www.apc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=BE500Y-IN
Run tme: *www.apc.com/products/runtime_for_extendedruntime.cfm?upsfamily=21
it says only 4min with full load

I didnt find microtek link though.

go for APC 650 VA in 3.5k in mumbai OR the best wold be Powercom 1KVA for 4.4K Future proof. I am buying this on in next week. I personally don't trust Microtek.

APC or Numeric or Powercom or Powersafe

APC 650VA is good if you do not want more than 15 minutes for backup. For more backup go for Microtech 800VA. Other good companies are TVS

 

[rollcage]

Which cos. give data cable to connect to CPU?
I have ADSL router can it be benefited by line surge protection?

I know APC is Best .. & I have it .. but I want to know is there any other company which can give almost same performance. I am not going for Microtek. If you can give me other options that will be good.
