APC and Sola (AKA Best) are well-regarded. I bought an old UPS att auction fo around $AU50; all it needed was a new set of batteirs. It's rated at 1500VA, can tolerate a lot undervoltage and keep running. Mine's Victron and jusging from info I've googled on it it is a good one, though I'd not previously heard of it. You do want one with good electronis; most outages are just a few seconds, and if the power is off there's a fair chance you have other things on your min than using the computer. OTOH you do want it to maintain power while the rock concert's on at the stadium. Minne will do that pretty well indefinitely. -- Cheers John
