The other afternoon I was working on a review and being the very learned computer user that I am it had been at least 30-minutes since I had saved anything to my hard drive, when it suddenly sounded like someone set off a small sized tactical Nuc in my backyard.  My 100 lb dog hit the backdoor at a dead run trying to get away from the noise as I watched the images on my monitor fade to black.

I soon found out that a poor squirrel had got cross-ways in one our 15KW lines that runs down our alley and before he died he blew all of the breaker for the transformer on that pole.  So while I waited for the power company to come an fix the problem I began to think of the things that might have happened because of this power shutdown. Was there a power surge prior to the loss of power that might have hurt the brand new motherboard and processor I had installed less than a month ago, or how about the pair of 500 GB hard drives did the head slam so hard on them that damage was done.  Not to mention the loss of the what I had typed for the review.

After power was restored I found out I was very lucky and that all that happened was i lost my review information, but no damage elsewhere.  So that brings use to the item we are reviewing today, Ultra Products 1500VA Power Protection Uninterrupted Power Supply, if I had this device when the squirrel committed suicide I would have been able to save all of my work and safely shut down my system before draining the UPS.  So lets get started and take a good long look at this baby...
