please help recommend UPS

[Bumzilla]

I've got a rack storing my CCTV DVR, DSTV, apple TV, LCD monitor, RTI distribution unit etc etc in the basement. I don't want a full backup UPS to run these as it will cost too much. What I need is a UPS that will regulate the spike in voltage when power comes back on. I've got surge protectors on the main plugs but know these are not 100% guarantee to supply clean power to my units when power suddenly comes back on.

So would a APC 2000VA or even a Mecer 2000VA UPS suffice for my needs or do I need something else totally?

I just don't want my rack become KFC when the lights come back on....I've read on some forums that when a generator starts up, supply is not clean so it's best to stick a UPS to be safe.

Uhm... I was looking for the answer to this as well...

Seems MyBB doesn't allow a search for "UPS" in "Titles Only" – so not entirely sure how one would try and find a thread where this was answered!

I'm hoping to keep my Mac Mini and external USB enclosures up and running... will need to do some reading and more searching. Subscribing to this thread regardless – please shout if you found anything!
