OK, everymac.com didn't have the power supply specs for my Mac, so I
downloaded a PowerMac user guide from the internet. It says 7.5amps or
9.5amps. I think the 9.5 is for the original G5/2x2. Mine is the 2004
revision. I think it uses the more efficient G5 CPU, so I'm guessing the
power supply is only 7.5amps. That still sounds like a lot though. At
120volts, that would still be 900watts. So, I can put my display and
external drives on my Belkin 720VA, and get a bigger UPS for my PowerMac.
Here are a couple I'm looking at. Any suggestions? Thanks.
