Reddit reviews Back-ups RS,330 Watts 550VA

Thanks very much - this is good to know.
I’ve gone for this:

I'd say use a UPS : https://www.amazon.fr/gp/aw/d/B002RL0CKI/ref=sspa_mw_detail_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1

So would there be no real benefit over having one NIC for the base system and one NIC for all the VMs?

​

I havent heard of Mobaxterm or Terminus, Ill do some research into them at some point.


Money is kinda short for me, but Ive found a UPS for around £120

Does this seem ok?
I had a look at some rackmount ones but theyre all £200 upwards (more than im going to spend on the R710 itself)

​

It doesnt really bother me not running ESXi on the latest version unless they made a massive change like making live VM migration free or something. I havent done too much research into the other hypervisors as I have mostly seen ESXi and thought that was the most popular. Though I may try all of them later down the road, perhaps on a second system (I just had a thought, could I run a virtualised instance of the other hypervisors in ESXi?)

​

From the little bit I have just seen, XCP looks pretty good.

​

Does this switch look decent?

I have found some of the same model cheaper on ebay and, with my very limited knowledge, this looks to be alright.

​

Also, how would I go about distributing power from the UPS, surely 6 plugs wouldnt last long before needing to expand. I have seen some massive extension lead looking things with 20 plugs and stuff like that but I assume one small UPS wouldnt be able to power something like that.

After building my first computer a few weeks ago I am about to get myself a UPS. According to outverisions power supply calculator my computer draws ~700W and needs a 1200VA UPS - however I would obviously like to plug in my monitors and speakers as well, will that suffice too?

I've considered this: http://www.amazon.de/APC-550VA-Stromsparfunktion-Multifunktionsdisplay-Ger%C3%A4teschutzversicherung/dp/B002RL0CKI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1452107172&sr=8-3&keywords=ups#productDetails @1200VA and this http://www.amazon.de/CYBERPOWER-CP1300EPFCLCD-1300VA-780W-Line-Interact/dp/B0058RVIEC/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1452184501&sr=8-4&keywords=cyberpower . Any recommendations / suggestions?
