Cheap APC backups
Just a heads-up for my fellow HTPC buddies:

This is a pretty good deal, you can get a APC Back-UPS RS1500 or RS1200 for $80 or $60.
NO REBATES, that is out the door price (+tax).
OfficeDepot STORE only! (You can buy it online, and it will drop to those prices if you select store pickup).

These go for 209.99 for the RS1500, and RS1200 was around $179 or so.

BX1200 & BX1500 are the SKU's.

From APC in case you want full specs. They are NOT listed on the OD website.

http://www.apcc.com/resource/include...ase_sku=BR1200

Real(?) skus if the BX1200 & BX1500 do not work for you.

481872 bx1500 BACK-UP,BATTERY,UPS,BS1500,APC was $209.99 now $79.99.
986408 bx1200 BACK-UP,BATTERY,UPS,BS1200,APC was $179.99 now $59.99.

This is a great deal. Thanks for posting. I like the BX1500, because they can be used with the optional BR24BP battery pack, extending the backup runtime.

I bought the 1200 on Friday. It was so cheap I never realized it was a national sale, I just figured my local store was clearing out a few to make room for the new model.

Just pixed up an Back-UPS XS1500 at the Houston Willowbrook (last one). The sign on the shelf said it was on sale for $155 but I decided to take it up to the checkout and see what it rung up at. Sure enough, it was $79.

I picked up the last 3 1200's at the Houston Westheimer/Hillcroft store.

Love the line conditioning feature.

Still available in My Area
I just purchased the BX 1200 model from a San Bernardino, Ca. Store. The manager didnt even know they had them till I asked him to look it up in the computer. Sure enough still only $59.00 and he still had 2 more in the backroom. So if you go lookig for them be sure to have them check stock cause it doesnt seem like they want sell them. Maybe saving them for January clearance or something.

Thanks for the tip on this! Picked up the last 1500 here! Going to (hopefully) plug it in tonight.
