I really don't want to spend more than $200 ore even less if possible. My server only cost me $500. As I have mentioned previously someone wants to sell an unwanted APC Smart-UPS SC 420VA 230V<http://www.apc.com/products/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=SC420I&total_watts=50&tab=models>, they got with their new PC for half price, I am thinking of going for it. -- Kind regards, Yudi
