Background: Recently purchased a new (old) house, it currently has old wireing in some parts of the house (knob and tube). In my office all the outlets have the two prong outlets, not the 3 prong. I know the third prong (round) is for grounding purposes. I currently have a UPS (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16842101067) that I use for all my PC’s, and a slightly smaller one for my network.
For now would it be safe to get a three to two prong converter to run the main UPS? The UPS will only be running one PC (700 watt max, idle 75-100 watts) and one monitor (for now).
We are getting the house rewired (knob and tube will be taken out), new updated outlets (grounded), and a bigger circuite breaker in 2 weeks.
