Why not visit the APC website and use their UPS calculator to determine what you need? http://apc.com/tools/ups_selector/index.cfm -- Leythos - Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum. - Calling an illegal alien an "undocumented worker" is like calling a drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist" spam999free@rrohio.com (remove 999 for proper email address)

Most Back-UPS only offer "battery" power. Smart-UPS also offer line conditioning. Depending on the "type" of power and wiring, you may want to consider additional power filtering (ie: surges and power dips.)

Sorry, Ed, but that's nonsense. For most people, that would be way overkill, and simply a waste of money. The purpose of a home UPS is to give you sufficient time to perform an orderly shutdown in the event of a power failure. It is *not* to let you continue running for hours while the power is out. And why should one buy something from a retail store. In almost every case, it's possible to buy exactly the same product from an on-line source at a substantial savings over the retail store's price. -- Ken Blake - Microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup

Reading different opinions helps people decide on their own.
