i think no invertor is best for the pc.
but u can run pc from invertor(su kam sine wave) will be preferable,
with the help of ups in the middle .
so u have to buy the ups .
go for the 1000 VA invertor.

I have 1400VA SU KAM sine wave invertor at home. Its the best for home use, but r utter useless for my PC.
When electricity fails, the copm restarts itself even if I use a UPS in middle. I tried buying a new 600VA Hykon ups, but the same happens. I checked my UPS on my friend's system which is more power hungry, but it worx just fine there.
In my xperience u will have to buy some online ups to run on invertors...
But su kam gives me almost more than 1 day backup.

You should be having unusually high capacity battery (in AH) for that. Pl tell me how much.
BTW why are you using DVDRW, DVD ROM and CDRW when the DVDRW can do the job of everything.

even i got the same invertor. read the manual. it says that the invertor runs on two modes,ups and invertor mode. there is a small switch behind the invertor. set it to ups mode and ur problem will be solved.

Check out the APC Power Inverter.... It has pure sine wave technology .... If I were to buy an inverter it would be only this one.... in my experience APC products are very well made and their after sales service is excellent.

No matter what inverter you use.you should hav a good UPS.our place is a remote one.v hav frequent voltage surges,spike,power failure etc.even i such a horrible conditions, our hykon inverter(1000VA) along with Numeric UPS(600VA) keeps my computer going.go for a good UPS like APC or Numeric.
