Is ES700VA enough for my workstation... ?

Hi all,
I tried using the UPS selector on this website but it's not quite working for me so thought would post the usual question here. 🙂
Basically I'm looking at the ES700VA UPS.
My pc is an i5 760 on a Gigabyte P55-UD3R mobo, 16gb ram 4 x4dimms 1.5v, nVidia GTS450 video card, 1x SSD hdd & 1x 7200 rpm hdd, 1x optical drive and a 22" dell lcd monitor, 2x external WD Green HDD's in an external dock. That's it.

I'm not interested in running this for a long time off UPS but if it can give me a few minutes just to save any open docs and shut down properly would be great.

Thanks for any help provided. Looking at buying tomorrow if it can do what I want. 🙂

Bill

Thanks again! I should have mentioned it's not a gaming rig but a photo editing workstation so it's really ram work more than anything else and the hard drives and gpu are sitting idle most of the time, maybe that explains it. Today the powerchute software showed 15 minutes battery time, I might throw the wifi router on it as well 🙂

just at initial thought, i'd say no. but, the most important thing here is finding the power draw of each piece of equipment - mainly the power supply on the computer, and finding out if it is power factor corrected, as well as the monitor and any other separate accessories. the power draw of each device (CPU power supply, monitor, etc) is usually printed right on them somewhere..

i'd suggest starting there but i am not so sure a small unit like that will do the trick with your high end set up.

Thanks! But I bought the unit before I read your reply. Anyway I charged it for a full 16 hours and switched the wall mains off. The software was reporting about 12 minutes or so batery runtime before it turns off which I had left the default at 5 minutes. I Iet it go and after the pc went to hibernate as expected. So it seems it will work for the few minutes I may need it for. 🙂

cheers,
Bill

ok, great to hear. if only every situation worked out like that :-)..i was uneasy about the step wave supporting your high end devices as well as there being enough wattage capacity.
