With a UPS, it is always on as the battery is charging while it is plugged in. As soon as the power outage happens, the UPS automatically kicks in and your pc/server won't even notice it. you can carry on gaming to your hearts delight, as long as your adsl/nbn router is connected to it as well. a 1KVA ups should last you 5-10 minutes with a server, screen and router connected to it. I have a 3KVA ups at home and the fridge runs off it, if I need it to. I am also able to run my server and lights off it, if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonus - I ordered an "old stock, never used" older model pretty decently discounted. Just received the current model instead - 700W vs 600W so even more emergency downtime and even better discount :D edit: almost 2 hours (1:42) runtime from the machine (or so it tells me) Will likely be higher in the event of a power out given that there will be no PC's making the server do any work if there's no power 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killed the 1st "boss" last night so about a 3rd of the way through the story. Heaps of stuff to do though, in any order which works better for me than the older ones with a line to follow.

I can see that I'll be able to go faster but man is that thing a handful to keep on the road! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm number 408 on the leader board. Look me up lol. I can see me getting a 2:06 with a few hours at it and a 2:05 eventually. The record is 2 flat but that is some bullsh*t. The car won't do it.

I'll get er down but 5 seconds less is asking for something. At any rate it's cheaper than the real thing but still a lot of fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
