Help! The outlets in my apartment are not gounded.
I just moved into an apartment that does not have grounded outlets. I was wondering if I plugged my two desktop pc's into a UPS if it would make up for the lack of grounding? I am not worried about loosing my UPS to a spike, if it will protect my computers.

You can't substitute a ground but the UPS will help protect your PC's.
