A reliable, battery-equipped UPS sounds like the answer. What brands and models should I be looking at? I don't need a lot of umph in the power department, because I'll only be attaching my 24" iMac and my router and cable modem to the device. No laser printers, speakers, or other power-hungry equipment. <br> <br> Preferably, I'd like a UPS with a post-blackout runtime of thirty minutes to an hour. Will I be able to buy such a device without cashing in my IRA? And if so, what model would you recommend? What makers should I steer towards or away from? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.85920 Wed, 12 Mar 2008 06:11:56 -0800 uninterruptablepowersupply ups Gordion Knott
