Re: UPS wars: APC vs Tripplite?
Have you looked at Best Power? The Fortress line is very competitive with
APC, and comes with software and source code! Onvia.com carries them,
and with free shipping and the various $25 coupon codes floating around...
You can't beat the price! I bought one on back-order, and it arrived in
two days. I've had several Fortress units in use at the office for the
last year and a half, and they have been flawless so far.
APC's recent low-end/midrange products have had failure rates over 60%
(of a dozen units) for me in less than two years. APC's older products
were much more reliable. As always, your mileage may vary.
Good luck
Jeff
