[ale] AMD300 Watt PS

[Rick Huebner]

I didn't even think that the heat was central.  If that is the case there
may be a larger problem in the power from the street.  In many places, the
power company will come take a look at the problem for you.

Chris -

Your list doesn't sound awful but it's significant, esp the 21" monitor
and the 3 computers (you don't say if the lights are fluorescent) but
the central-air thing has me concerned.  Do the lights visibly dim for a
few msec when the HVAC starts?

You might want to spread out this load a bit, but even so, if you
actually get reboots when the HVAC starts, you should think about
getting a UPS down there.  You don't need to get one of the big models
that will compensate for a brownout necessarily - even the Back-UPS
models (like I have 3 of here) will go on battery for 1-2 sec if there's
a quick blink in the power.
