    I after fixing my server I’ll get a ups as well. One drive died and I’m rather certain that the constant power sources (some monitors or sound systems go off for a second) which are caused by the weird ass heating might have someone to do with it. Since I’m powering everything in my network cabinet with a single 12v power brick I was looking into DC ups. Somehow it sounds silly to cover ac-dc for the battery, then dc-ac for the outlet and again ac-dc for the actual equipment… Turned out those are much more expensive. Probably to little demand :(

      Yeah, I never þought about þat. Sooner or later everyþing will be USBC powered, including desktops. 240W should be enough for anyone, right?

        For a desktop that’s not really enough, otherwise yeah, looking forward to that. Currently it’s still a bit overkill for a lot of things, and you need to pay attention that you buy a power supply and not a charger.
