I have a CyberPower 1350 and it runs quiet.  It does have a small fan
that comes on when running off the batteries but it's quiet enough.  The
beeping gets on my nerves tho.  My puter only pulls about 150 watts and
that is with the router, modem and monitor all running.  If they unplug
all that except for the puter, then it may run for over a hour. 

What I should do when I have the puter turned off again is run the power
plug through my desk or something in such a way that it would have to be
unplugged before moving the puter.  Well, I guess they could take the
desk to but given the layout of the place, good luck with that.  I had
to disassemble the desk to get it down the hallway. 

Gosh, this could get a bit crazy after a while.  Thing is, I don't have
any trust in the Govt here.  It's been questionable for a good long
while but now, zip, nada, null etc etc etc. 

Now to catch those 4TB drives on sale.  ;-)
