I spent $40 on a gadget called a Kill A Watt to answer that question, so I could get some idea what to expect from a UPS. http://www.efi.org/products/power/p3watt.html It turns out that my 250 W K6/2 500 box draws about 80 W running, 40 W idle. The 19" monitor draws about 100 W. Very informative and entertaining gadget. I recommend it highly. Bill -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
