The best UPS for my LCD+PS3?

XXhacK · Apr 28, 2010

Hey guys,

The title says it all, I need to buy a UPS for my 32" (EX500) Sony LCD & PS3. How much will it cost me?
I just need it to handle them both just to be able to turn off the LCD (keep the PS3 on) and wait for 5-10min ta ydawro el moteer :D

the PCE 850 VA UPS Vista Series $49.00 from pcandparts

theres also a 1200va for 135$

650VA > 1000VA provide same battery life time cause the same battery is used. (10 minutes in your setup).
Diamond 650VA should do the job. PCE are nice too but not as heavy-duty as Diamond or DM Pro.
How much does the PS3 consume?

Thanks guys.

@julien: I don't really know, check this out:

I have the 80GB one so it's about 110W

I'll put a 100$ budget for the UPS, see the options available, compare and decide.

What do you think about APC? I'm reading a lot of good reviews about it

I thought of choosing best quality for the price UPS.
APC are nice but they are way too expensive.

Diamond/DM Pro 800VA will be the best choice for you. I have been using one for 4 years without a glitch.

cool, I'm gonna get the Diamond UPS next month..
More comments are always welcome guys ;)

I have the 1000va DM pro its been working for two years and i hooked my ps3 on it too, works like a charm.
Are DM pro the same as diamond ? Julien do you know the manufacturer's website ? i cant find it on google.

Jjulien_saadeh · Apr 28, 2010

Yes, they are the same but DM Pro is usually somewhat cheaper. I have both of them.
