APC is the way to go, no matter what size you choose. You have to weight how much time you need, do you want this to be an "always on" type thing, or just enough time to shut down safely, etc?If it's just quick, short power surges or brown out type events, you don't need something that big. For me, all I want is enough time to weather a "quick" power outage, or if it's out longer then 10 mins I have time to shut down. :(

Bingo. :) I use 2 UPS's at home, but that is because my rig has grown to 3-screens, 2 printers, etc etc. lol SO I needed more plugs. :)Overall, count the number of plugs you need. Keep in mind that NOT ALL plugs on there are battery-backup. About HALF are surge only. :) SO if you need more then 3-4 outlets for battery, check the specs and look at photos. If all you need is a quick juice during shortages, the one you show below is fine. :)

Alrighty...I already have a huge surge protector. It's a cyber power and so far so good. So I have plenty of outlets. I think the only things I'd put on the battery backup is of course the tower, monitor, maybe the router and modem.... the rest of my controllers and printers etc can go to the surge protector
