Hello
I am looking to purchase the BR1500LCD I am wondering if it has enough juice to power my computer. I have a 600W Thermaltake power supply (model W0144RU), (it has active PFC) and I also want to power my 20" Samsung monitor (model 204BW), which draws 75w. Can I run these with the BR1500? Thanks in advance.

I've got a Back-UPS RS 1500 LCD with a lot more than that connected to it and it is only pulling a 25% load on the unit, with an estimated runtime of 21 minutes, so I think you should be ok.

It would really depend on how much of that computer power supply watt rating it truly uses. Also, you would want to test the UPS with that PFC power supply by simulating outages by pulling the UPS plug from the wall and then reconnecting a bit later.
