Would much rather spend money on a quality ups. Only once in 30 plus years has a power supply caused issues.<br>
<br>
However, I have been purchasing Seasonic ultra quiet PSU's the last 8 years. Quiet is more important than anything else to me these days. <br>
<br>
Plus none of my systems requires more than 150 watts of power so those huge 750 watt power supplies are a complete waste in my environment. If you stay away from AMD desktop CPUs and Intel Core i7 CPUs then the power requirements are much less.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 25 February 2016 17:37:44 GMT-05:00, Jim Kinney <<a href="mailto:jkinney@jimkinney.us" target="_blank">jkinney@jimkinney.us</a>> wrote:<blockquote type="cite">

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
