No No, You have to be specific with santa else he'll bring you Ryobi and ellies, You don't want that cheap shiat.
You want the yamaha and kipor only but make sure that it's more than 5kva and has AVR

What do you run on the UPS's during that time?
I have a few baby UPS's which are used for my networking equipment but never though about removing the speaker before - Good Plan.

It is a battery saving measure? - Removing the speaker
It's the measure of not wanting to throw the UPS out the window.
The beeping can become rather irritating.

One for my PC, the other for the 40" LCD, DSTV, WDLive. Been thinking about joining them to make the one at least last a bit longer

Just normal Proline PC ones, they are noisy tho with their fans, but I've gotten used to that now
EDIT: They might be 2kva's, I can't remember

Oh ok. Mine only last about 10 minutes, but yes, it would be irritating over a long period of time
The old Ryobi's were good, The new ones are just rebranded chinese ***.
