-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Depending on how the power is in your area, I wouldn't get anything less than an APC SmartUPS 2200, or 3000. if you figure 300w powersupplies per machine.. 1500w, and 200w for the monitor.. that's almost 80% capacity on the 2200.. you want to keep no more than 50% capacity on a UPS (surge usage of boxes on startup) http://www.apcc.com personaly, for anything over a few small boxes.. I like to use a true online UPS, like a liebert. UPS Station GXT. 3000va model would work perfect. http://www.liebert.com read up on the liebert site.. they have something in their docs that talk about the different modes a UPS can do.. power switching (APC BackUPS) (crap) line interactive (APC SmartUPS) (ok for small stuff) online (APC Symmetra, Liebert) (good stuff) Thank You, Ben Kochie (ben at nerp.net) "Unix is user friendly, Its just picky about its friends."
