A UPS for Clementine
Clementine finally got an uninterruptible power supply. Specifically, an APC Back-UPS ES BE750G. I’ve long planned to add a UPS to Clementine, and finally got around to doing it. I think a UPS is a great addition to any machine; it adds an extra layer of reliability, and it just feels great when the power goes out and your computer keeps going. Adds to the mystique of a custom-built machine. Not to mention the wear-and-tear it saves you by allowing for a safe shutdown (even if you’re not around!).
This is pretty much the same UPS as Fozzie has, although it’s a slightly newer version. Slightly slimmer and nicer looking, but effectively the same specifications. I’ve been well-served so far by APC (better than the two previous CyberPower models) and I look forward to having it as a part of Clementine.
