Surfer, just one more thought on the UPS: Another factor to consider is capacity. They range from 200 watts or so up to how-much-money-have-you-got? Once you get beyond the point of the actual wattage of your equipment, the difference is how usually long the system will continue to run on the batteries. If you are in a location where power outages are infrequent and normally short-lived, then add up all the wattages of your system and get the next size larger UPS. If you are living at the end of a lengthy extension cord, ie somewhere outages are common and long lasting, you may want to get one that will give you more time and will also talk to your computer and shut it down in an orderly fashion when necessary. This involves putting an ISA card in the computer and running a cable from it to the UPS plus some software. Assuming there is a free slot, this is not such a big deal even for a techno-wonk-star such as yourself. If I've gone on in too much detail, please make allowances, because I so rarely get to discuss something in this forum that I actually understand.
