UPS

Is a 600 va battery back up enough to run two computers with 300 watt power supplies and a 20 inch monitor???

It probably is, but the real question is for how long?

I think this has been asked before and it comes down to what is actually installed inside and in use to determine the power drawn.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong...

Actually the main reason I have a batery, is for constant power. We have iffy power here, and I already went through one monitor. I now have a 20" and will NOT replace it because of bad power. I'm not too worried about the machines running for more than 5 minutes or so in a power failure. I just want to be sure that the batery will not be damaged from too much draw when it is plugged in.

Oh, by the way, it's a 700, not 600.

If you arereally worried, spend the cash for a second UPS. The price you pay for a second ups will be less that the price of a new monitor.
