APC Unit for AMAYA XT

[GailForce Designs]

Hi
I was wondering if people could let us know what they are using for an APC unit (Battery Backup/Surge Protector) with their AMAYA XT. We need to purchase one but want to make sure we are getting the right one. Also if you could let us know where you purchased yours that would be great.


Thanks
Peter

I got mine at Bestbuy for around $100. I think the model is APC 750va and it has a $75,000 warrenty with around one hour backup for a computer. I figure that would be good enough to finish a small design at 10,000 stitches so I could safely turn the machine off in the event of a power outage. Living in the Washington DC area, we get our fair share of summer thunderstorms and power flashing off and on and it has saved me several times. I know the machine has a power restore feature but I prefer the battery backup. I also have a light I got from Home Depot for $15 that automatically turns on when the power goes out so I'm not completely in the dark.
