Why don't you try PowerCOM 600VA UPS?

I picked mine up for 1,775 IRS a month ago, ofcourse with warranty.

Can't figure out if it's a 1 or 2 year warranty though, but it's pretty good, and around 1K cheaper compared to the APC 600VA model.

And considering they're world #2, it ain't a bad deal ;)

whatever you get, stay away from microtek. Its gone kaput for me and two friends (we had different models). get the APC 650 as everyone has suggested. ive been having it for about 6 months, and no problem what so ever... better spend some extra money to get good stuff that will last..

BackUPS has serious issues with high end power supplies. Sandy/Bottle/x86 etc have all had problems. If you have one, I'd not recommend it. Else its fine.

I would recommend any APC UPS.

I love their service. If the UPS develops any problem during the warranty period, you just call the APC toll free number; and on the same day itself, a local agent shows up, takes your UPS, and replaces it with another one! No questions asked; they won't even check whether there is a problem or not.

I wish all companies provided service like this...:)

Are you using the PowerChute Personal Edition software that came along with the UPS ? If yes, try to uninstall it and try to use the native power management options in windows.

I had the same issue, the system was not shutting down with the software installed. I uninstalled it and used the power options in windows and it was able to sshutdown after that.

No buzzing sound from PSU or UPS when running or battery, I have the CM 430W SMPS.
