What, no 486?

Plan your life wisely, you'll be dead before you know it.

Heh, you need to invest in a UPS for insurance. Don't want your retro stuff or your main rig eating it because of dirty power or a surge.

Crimson Tide - EVGA 1000P2; ASUS Z10PE-D8 WS; 2x E5-2697 v3 14C 3.8 GHz on all cores (All core hack); 64GB Samsung DDR4-2133 ECC

I do have a UPS, my main rig and my Pentium 133 were plugged into it. the 486 was plugged directly into the wall because I was not planning to leave it plugged in, usually I plug my stuff into surge protecters, 🤣.
