Desktop (X4 955, 24gig, 3 HDD, 5SDD, HD5770) + 28'' Display + Fritzbox: 20+something minutes of normal desktop usage between power loss and battery low signal nut shuts down system on battery low signal enought time to cleanly shut down and turn off computer only partially supported by nut. To turn the beeper on or off you have to use their java based powerwalker software. But the important things work (status, battery low). -- #163933
