Re: UPS brands and recommendations

I would not suggest hooking the TV up to the UPS (at least on the battery-backed AC ports), and a single UPS to drive two computers may be too much (depending on what those systems are doing at the time, etc.).

You'll need to get some actual real-world numbers (watts used) before you can determine if you should buy one big UPS or multiple small ones.

My generator does a self test once a week, in the morning. I'm mostly looking to avoid having my entertainment unit do a hard reset once a week (TV+Amp+Boxee Box) so it'll only be on the battery for about 45 seconds or so.

Thanks for the links I'll be checking those out and doing some reading.

Duly noted I have some power monitors I've been itching to test out more extensively... so I'll be using those.
