I was at future shop (best buy) today, buying toner for my printer.


I saw on the clearance table they had an APC ups - 320 w for $9.95... a deal I couldn't pass up. It's not an enterprise or business version, but I can run my 19" widescreen monitor, my computer, cable modem, and router on battery for about 15 minutes without losing power.


It's so slick man, I unplug the whole thing from the wall, then my PC pops up with a counter saying how long I have till the battery backup dies... it's great.

Holy crap man WTG! I check out those tables at my future shop here and find scratched up merchandise for 5 bucks off. I wonder if that was a mistake, 10 bucks for a UPS...kickass

Poops... it was definitely a bargain.


It was only an open box, everything was in it, sealed up, etc.


The clearance sticker on it had $29.95 written in black marker(btw these things are worth about $100). The sticker had the "2" scratched out... so $9.95. This lead me to think I should go to the clearance tables and take al the items down to less than $10..... muha ha ha

They help a lot if you have wireless internet. The ups kicks in and you don't have to reconfigure. :cool:
