I use a M.G.E. UPS Model 220+ as a power backup. You do need to have a com port to plug into though.It has software that allows you to set it up so that it will close down all your files and then shut down windows properly, you can also run your monitor & phone line through it .One feature that I also like is that it has a cadmium battery in it instead of a acid battery which allows it to be nice and small. I have shut the power off several times to make sure that it works & it does. Hope this helps. Fred

JAS, I use a POWMAX Datasafe 650VA. After lightning fried my hard disk this summer, I made this purchase ($279) and also a second hard drive that mirror's my first drive. It has about 10-15 minutes worth of juice after a power outage and can be programmed to automatically shutdown your system and bring it back up when the power is back. If the power is restored normally within the 10 minutes, it will abort the shutdown. It also handles spikes, surges, over voltage and blackouts. So far, so good.
