Have A UPS need a PDU?

The 24A is fine but for extra protection go for the 30A, as long as the power circuit, is able to handle 30A.

I have an APC surge protector that is making a loud high pitched noise?

I'm alone at work and no one (naturally) is answering their phone. Here at my workplace we have an APC surge protector that is making a loud constant high pitched noise. It's been going on for over 9 hours said the previous shift before me. I've already looked through forums and no one seems to know what to do about it. I've tried re-powering, but the noise instantly comes back on. Any suggestions? I dont know anything about surge protectors, but it's a big black box that has APC Back-UPS ES 500 Surge Protection written on it. There is a green light that that is blinking on it too. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Anyone about the family in Colorado that are suing law enforcement for shooting him after he killed an officer?

I'm surprised that doesn't happen more often in this climate. It's like the chick who was texting and walked right into the fountain at the mall and is suing the mall because she got up too fast for security to help her.

Inexpensive power conditioners?

Looking for advice. I do have an expensive power conditioner for my AV equipment, but it never occurred to me to use one on my pellet stove until an ice storm ruined the $250 control board due to the fluctuating power. I need at 300w conditioner. Now I am worried about the TV's and other electronics in the house, even through they are on surge protectors. Is "OPTI-UPS SS1200 Stabilizer Series 6-Outlet Automatic Voltage Regulator" acceptable ? At a price of $20, I can protect electronics in every room.

APC Battery Backup that will give me a full 30 minutes of power?

I know APC makes really expensive battery backups, but I'm not trying to go overkill. I'm looking something inbetween that will power my iMac and my Airport for 1 hour of power outage. What mid priced models can do this?

What problems would i have with corrugated rubber as the ceiling interior of my car?

Nitrous Oxide is dangerous so make sure it is properly hooked up. Also you should never put nitrous on a stock motor, reason being is most factory motors cannot handle the pressure of the nitrous so therefore your risk blowing up your engine. For the material you could try some adhesive material like they use for headliners. I would try the adhesive because its the cheapest.

Put on new gear shifter, why is it so wobbly?

Fill the hole and then drill it to the right size.
