What's your learned opinion of uninteruptible power systems (UPS)? They tend to be pretty pricey, Kensington for instance sells them for $270-$950. What's the difference between brands and sizes on these things? Any opinions, experiences, or references to articles reviewing UPSs? I just want it for a single computer, so it seems likely that the smallest model would be appropriate. True? How about the cheapest? Are they pretty much a generic good? Scott
