That was for extending my uptime during the times when I was not at
home. Before buying the 1400XL I had used PCM King Pro 1000VA unit I
bought 7 to 10 years ago for around $150. The same unit is here:

anyways this has given me around 1 hour of analog recording time on a
quad core machine more than once in the 5 years I had it on my myth
backend.
