So, I recently got my hands on two industrial-grade mega-UPSes, of 3kVA and 6kVA. Enough power to run one and two normal homes.

3kVA:

6kVA:

The 6kVA has two battery packs the size of itself, too

Videos of them in action:





That heat blower uses about as much power as 4 normal gaming computers.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

And I though you took my word "every geek should have a hot air blower" too seriously.

I get it for free/cheap by putting ads in the paper. In a month, I've gotten 6 of them.

And they/I don't use so much power. My computer eats perhaps 250W 24/7, and the UPSes might take 20-50 total to charge when they're empty.

Although, you would probably say I have a funny accent since I'm broad Dundonian (Scotland) lol

That's what happens when you live on a Swedish speaking Island that's actually part of Finland


Also, I think you might be getting a little addicted to all these UPS's, surely one is enough, and even then they only ever need to be on standby whenever the rare occasion is that your mum is around

While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

Oh, they die within five minutes, my batteries are shit.

Today, this beautiful Wednesday, the 31st of December 2008, I got these:

https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb8/Freezer7Pro/IMG_0023-5.jpg

AND TWO OF THEM
https://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb8/Freezer7Pro/IMG_0025-9.jpg

With a capacity of 220Ah a piece, these two-year-old beasts contain four of my current "big batteries" EACH, have a safe 5-second discharge current of 1.5 kilo-amps, weigh a stunning 80kg a piece, have a short-circuit current of 3500 amps, a maximum charge current of SIXTY AMPS. Which is a lot.

And there are 20 more if I want.

These babies will provide hours, hours, hours and even more hours of runtime.
