RE: [Sheflug] UPS Recommendations?

[Barrie Bremner <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxx>]

I got myself an APC Back-UPS 1400 a while back.

As has already been mentioned, the APC range is very popular, and is well 
supported.

The apcupsd software (as well as NUTS) does a good job of monitoring and 
controlling the UPS - including the controlled shutdown of any PCs attached to 
it via serial communications to a master PC, and network status reports to the 
rest of the machines.

I'm running 4 PCs, monitor, network hub and modem off of the UPS without 
hassle. All gracefully shutdown when the UPS reports low battery, which is 
rather flash :-)

The smaller APCs are also quite good - I know people with the 650VA models 
that are quite good value.

Cheers.

Baz.
