Show us your PC and/or Gaming setup

the problem with Generators is that you have to turn them on when the power goes out.

so you could be without power for a minute or 3.

With a UPS, it is always on as the battery is charging while it is plugged in.

 

As soon as the power outage happens, the UPS automatically kicks in and your pc/server won't even notice it.

you can carry on gaming to your hearts delight, as long as your adsl/nbn router is connected to it as well.

 

a 1KVA ups should last you 5-10 minutes with a server, screen and router connected to it.

I have a 3KVA ups at home and the fridge runs off it, if I need it to. I am also able to run my server and lights off it, if need be.

Just ordered an APC 1000VA unit.

Bonus - I ordered an "old stock, never used" older model pretty decently discounted.

 

Just received the current model instead - 700W vs 600W so even more emergency downtime and even better discount :D

 

 

 

edit: almost 2 hours (1:42) runtime from the machine (or so it tells me) 

Will likely be higher in the event of a power out given that there will be no PC's making the server do any work if there's no power

Working my way through a bunch of religious inbred redneck nutbag cultists in Far Cry 5 at the moment.

 

Haven't played FC since 3 - is quiet fun

 

No more friggin towers

I haven't finished fc4 yet so I'll wait a while before picking it up. 

 

Are the graphics much better?

Didnt play 4 so not sure.

 

Killed the 1st "boss" last night so about a 3rd of the way through the story.

 

Heaps of stuff to do though, in any order which works better for me than the older ones with a line to follow.

So far in Project Cars 2 I've managed a 2:08 around Bathurst in the fg v8 supercar. I can see that I'll be able to go faster but man is that thing a handful to keep on the road!

bloody hell Puffster

2:08 is damn fast 

I need to knock 5 seconds off my time just to be even

This is in time trial mode with no assists and no setup. I'm number 408 on the leader board. Look me up lol.

 

I can see me getting a 2:06 with a few hours at it and a 2:05 eventually.

 

The record is 2 flat but that is some bullsh*t. The car won't do it.

[bloodycrashboy]

I don't see why not

2:03.8 in real life

[Puffwagon]

Haha I've only been practising for a few days. I'll get er down but 5 seconds less is asking for something.

 

At any rate it's cheaper than the real thing but still a lot of fun.
