[LUNI] UPS for Less update

[Mike Scott]

Well, the unit arrived today (not bad considering the FedEx site had it
scheduled for this Thursday).
I placed the order online last Thursday and it shipped from their
facility on Friday.
They emailed the tracking numbers when it shipped.

It is in excellent condition and was very well packed.
Double cardboard box with conformal foam and bands around the whole
thing.
I had to cut one piece of foam as it wrapped around the rack ears, but
no biggie.
I connected the battery and powered it up (currently charging) and it
appears functional.
No manuals, but that's what APCC's web site is for.
I downloaded the PDF for the unit, but I had to email APC tech support
for the manual on the AP9606 web management card since what their web
site lists as the link for the manual is a ZIP file with a single page
PDF of the VCCI conformance document.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I was looking for a small rack-mount APC UPS for home and came across
this web site:

http://www.upsforless.com

They sell new and refurbished UPS systems.  I got a 1KVA 2U APC
SU1000RM2U for $200.00.
This is a refurb unit, but it is fully tested, with new batteries, and a
1 year warranty.
The APC replacement for it SUA1000RM2U lists for $580 new and the best
price I could find was $443 from ProVantage.

I'll let you know how it works out.
