My Tech-COM UPS may just have given in, I use it only to power up the monitor(CRT,17"), today whenever I turn it on it immedietly goes to Battery mode instead of going online, the fuse is OK(I even changed it). Battery also charges normally but the UPS does not go online.

Need help, also suggest a cheap(<1.5k) PSU with surge protection for my monitor only.

I already own an APC 650va UPS powering my rig.

I need a Really CHEAP UPS to power my 17" CRT Monitor only.

Budget= <1.5k

My other options are Numeric, Intex and Microtek.

APC 500va costs nearly 2k, its also really large, I need a slim one.
