FYI - Rolling Brownouts and Cable Outage

Post by PlasmaJohn » Thu Dec 23, 2004 9:33 pm

Cable Outage, we're offline.

Power here seems a little unstable. If the brownouts turn into a real outage, the servers may go offline for a couple hours.

I just run with an offline power supply that powers my high end computer system along with my 560watt stereo, network router, and cable modem. If power fails, system still stays good with all running for an hour and a half. 8)
