I respect your opinion but in my case all I have to say is "Thank God For Epox". My 8RDA+'s Bios has faithfully shut down the system prior to any disasters on two ocasionas before I started using mbm5 to shutdown the system via software. Now, in combination to with mbm5 + "Shutdown Now", the system has perfectly shut down by software on all occasions (at least 3 that I can remember)

Here in Southern Florida, power failures are very common during the summer season, so I have all systems I own on some from of UPS, except the one with the W/C+pelt, where the water pump itself is not under a UPS, since I have not been able to find a decent UPS that can handle the sudden inductive charge by the water pump during a power loss.
