Under powering electronics can be as devastating as applying too much power. This is especially true with power supplies: Power supplies continue to *attempt* to put out their rated voltage/amperage even though on the back end, it's under powered. Further, I second Tim's endorsement for APC products: They are reasonably priced and during the 15 years I've been using them, I've never had one let me down. Best regards Marvin Dickens
