Well, I guess the couple did the right thing for the wrong reason. Who in their right mind get a UPS for $50? It's not going to be a real UPS, is it?

The bigger question is, did they really want an UPS, or just a better surge protector?

Yeah, no kidding... while a $50 UPS is likely to be little better than a surge protector, a $200 UPS for a basic web surfin' box is overkill.

Bumping this for 2 reasons:
1. So that people who miss this the first round can read this again instead of us linking this 2836535645 times
2. According to this report, the Corsair 620HX sucessfully powers QuadFX, SLI8800s, water cooling and Raptor drives

It's efficiency, not total wattage, again.
