I've just about had it with the constant brown outs at where I live. Right down to the point just how serious are these brown outs to most pcs. Can they really do any sort of damage to them? I'm guessing yes, the last brown out I had just today had my HDs wheezing and my monitor going berzerk on me. I am now seriously thinking about getting a UPS but I'm not familar with this area. Newegg members seems to like the OPTI-UPSs, anyone can recommend a great ups by them or by any other brands? thx in advance for any help.
