Does anyone know where sells high end models locally? By high end, I mean one that could keep my crossfire gaming rig, a Z-5500 and an 8 hard drive server running when T&TEC starts playin up. My current one just dead on me. Not looking to simply replace the battery as I believe the unit was faulty to begin with.

ha! i wish. the 1000VA i had was nowhere that expensive. i'll call Circuit Zone in the morning though. hopefully they'll have something that i can afford. thx Rebirthoftheundead.

I had gotten a tripp-lite from Pricesmart, it's 1000VA and handles my right and the Z5500 I have here quite nicely.

Think it was for around $900TT when I bought it about a yr ago not sure what they have them for now...

This is the exact one I have http://www.tripplite.com/en/products/model.cfm?txtModelID=3071 and it has won many a battle with T&TEC with me not really worrying about anything getting damaged. It has proven itself being truly hardcore from low voltage to blackouts (car crash into lamp post taking down lines, frog somewhere out the road cause two lines to arc) etc...

Oh yea and you can put it vertical or horizontal as the lcd screen can be popped out and rotated to suit. Pretty sweet design esp when you don't have much space for a hulking UPS to be on the floor. Mine sits on the sub for the z5500s vertically with plenty more space to rest stuff about...

Mind giving us an example of some of those prices Rage?

I bought my current APC 1500VA from them a few years ago, and it was WAY cheaper than having to import it.

i believe the guy i talked to said that a 1000VA was around $1400 + VAT while a 1500VA was around $1600. they have up 3000VA (or 2000, can't remember) i believe but i didn't even bother asking how much.

Rebirthoftheundead · « **Reply #9 on:** March 18, 2012, 12:40:21 PM »

i think who you spoke too didn't know what he was doing. their prices aren't that bad for e.g you said he stated a 1500VA was $1600. but i checked in on town Saturday and it was $1408.00....strange but there is another place as well APC in Chaguanas(Stay away from the frio!)

Arcmanov · « **Reply #10 on:** March 18, 2012, 01:25:06 PM »

Actually, Rage, that price for a 1500VA (APC, I hope) isn't that bad. I paid $1548 TT for mine at the time.

I say bite the bullet and buy it yes. You really need it. At least you will get a year warranty on it.

UPDATE:

Quote from Informatics Engineering;
SUA1500 - APC Smart-UPS 1500VA USB & Serial 120V

$3,364.00 + $504.60 VAT = $3,868.60

Another option:
BR1500G - APC Power Saving Back-UPS Pro 1500

Cost is $1,605.00 + $240.75 VAT = $1,845.75

I bought some from Trinidad Systems Ltd last month.

BR1500G APC Back-UPS Pro 1500 - UPS - AC 120 V - 865 Watt - 1500 VA - 10 output connector(s) (Vatable)

I was quoted around January for $1562.00 per unit. Vat inclusive.

PM me and I'll give you the contact information for the rep i deal with in there.

Netizen1 · « **Reply #16 on:** May 04, 2012, 11:19:55 AM »

TSL quoted $1,782.50 (incl. VAT) but it's not in stock, and it will take 4 -6 weeks to deliver.

Netizen1 · « **Reply #17 on:** May 05, 2012, 08:03:46 PM »

Finally got one... at The Wizz of all places.

A friend of mine pointed them out to me, even listed on their website here

Total cost: $1,650.00

Which model did you finally get? That's a nice price, considering what you would pay to import one.

...and I'm sure you have a decent warranty as well. GG

Netizen1 · « **Reply #19 on:** May 06, 2012, 02:56:39 PM »

My bad, I forgot to mention the model I got from The Wizz was a BR1500G

Using it for PS3/LCD TV (40")

With both devices on, it shows about 50% load on UPS and ~15 minutes runtime at that load.
