Guys my current UPS is almost dead, it gives no backup and it keeps restarting my pc when the voltage flickers a bit which happens a lot in my area, i have also changed the battery but it is not able to charge the battery, so i was thinking of buying a new ups, and wanted to know is Intex 1000VA better than Microtek 600VA. APC and other good brands are not available here.

Ye I know Umang and the opp. Shop to it, but I will like to buy it locally as it is very heavy, will also try to search for APC in my local shops. But how are these intex,frontech 1kva ups.

Actually bro as am upgrading my whole computer i bought a cooler master UCP 900w psu, and when i plugged it in my ups and switched on the ups, the ups kept on restarting with the red led like it was taking its last breaths:)), and after that i directly plugged the psu instead of ups and it worked fine, the ups already cant withstand the load of local psu, so i think that 1kva will be a good choice.

Ok will go for microtek. Actually I was looking for a used psu from many days..err... months :) and lastly got a good deal on this ucp psu so bought it, its almost brand new and 3yrs warranty left, and as I said earlier I am upgrading my whole pc so that's why buying parts one by one, and am thinking of going sli or crossfire in furture.
