This may sound like a strange question, but is there a way to mute the
voice box of a UPS? I have a highly specialised application for one- I
need a mobile desktop pc (very cheap). I need to setup a pc for my
little girl so that she has music, video, and visualisations while she's
in her cot- which is mobile and moved from room to room. So I don't want
to shutdown the pc when in transit, and I certainly don't want any
shrieks when I unplug the power...
They're usually called "laptops" :-)
Some UPS models have a mute button, but you need to press it after you
hear the alarm.
Alternative is to open one up and disconnect the speaker wires.
Best, of course, is to just get a cheap laptop
I will second the comment on a laptop. You can get a decent laptop for
around the same price as all the hardware and software to mount a
computer, ups, speakers...
The added benefit is total mobility. Now you can take the full setup in
a vehicle if you have to transport her to a different location. Or if
the need arises, a hospital (with added security).
