| Quoting digital_ruler | It's not really safer from quick surges... Probably uses the same MOV components as a normal surge suppressor. However, some better UPSes will switch over to battery power if there is over- or under-voltage detected.
And of course a UPS will provide battery backup in a 100% blackout  |
AH, there were way too many to choose from. I think I might just order a battery back-up from newegg.com and save me a couple of bucks. I just hopes the power doesn't go out again. Then again, we have a brand new shinny transformer.
Johnny_Suave. I will "try" to be more careful. I too smurf in some server. In fact. In one particular server. Said person got rcon and probably would have kicked or banned me for something that was a complete misunderstanding. I'll tell you one thing, after that incident. I truly wanted to quick Red Faction. I just couldn't believe how said player was acting. 
Oh yeah, I do play Red Faction but not as much for the reason stated above.  |

| Quoting NoClanFrank | Oops, sorry I am typing on another computer. My other computer took a dump when we had a power transformer blow out on us. I was without power for 2.5 hours. I didn't "try" and turn on my gaming PC until tonight only to find out that most likely than not my power supply is fried.

I'm speechless. I'd love to say plenty right now, but you already know what I'm gona say
About the UPS, didn't I tell you to buy one 5 years ago? And don't bother at Newegg, just get one from the local stores. They are usually a lot cheaper. UPS will work much better as a surge protector too. For $30 they are cheap insurance and EVERYBODY should be plugged into one! |

Amen. Also, I find it hard to get rcon anywhere nowadays (I guess that's because of the smurfing) so I'm surprised somebody so ignorant would have it. I guess it's who you know, not how you act. Most of the people that play this game act like children, though I guess they could easily be. Ah well... I guess it's not that hard to go server surfing and find a suitable game, but it is annoying.  |

Suave, you've got to stop smurfing and put your name on! I never know when you're playing or not! 
Hit Dinner is Served sometime or something...you big fool.  |

If anyone encounters a problem in Dinner is Served - let me know so that I can correct the situation. I cannot fix it if I don't know about it. Customer satisfaction is the priority. There is no vanity involved.
Do not stop playing RF because someone inflicted emotional damage upon you. Get up and stand up for who you are. If everyone knuckled under throughout history - America would not exist. Don't be afraid to play or join the Team Speak for heaven's sake. lol
Smurfers are welcome in Dinner. Normally I will not twist their arms for their identity. Although the ping and style of play are clues. |

Well I'm usually only playing in the wee, wee hours of the morning.... I usually RF between 3am-7am (EST) so I probably miss you all the time. I would say something if I saw you though.

Good point.... I'm surprised nobody ever recognizes me actually. I think I'm one of the few people that spends most of the game trying to blow people up with C4.   |

Send me a link to one that is cheap. Not cheap as in quality but price and I will go out and buy it ( the UPS ) this weekend.
I know what your thoughts were on the power supply but I only heard them after I had bought it. I don't like returning stuff when I order it on line. If I had bought it at a brick and mortar store then I would have exchanged it. |

I know we talked about the PSU afterwards, what I meant was you shoulda known to check with me before buying another I'll look around at UPS's . (Tt is an ok PSU as long as you didn't spend too much)
BTW, I play at Dinner pretty much every night after 10pm Central. I'd love to hang out with the old geezers in RF Info but they all go to bed way too early.
Found an UPS at Staples $35 after rebates
That same exact one is $78 at Newegg |

There are alot of servers for the amount of people playing, but it's good to have a choice especially when it comes to the server's location. People with 300+ pings are always in North American servers when they could have a normal ping if they were in a server that was near them, but they never listen. Also, it's nice to be able to choose DM, TDM or CTF and either default maps or custom ones. Then there are passworded servers too, so I know it seems like there's a lot, but once you take all that into account, there isn't nearly as many joinable servers as it seems. |

Yep, before all I could find was a ctf server with 12 ppl, and 12 other dm servers with o to 2 people  . Now theres at least a few people who enjoy dm. Checkmate gets boring the 4000000001'th time |
