Looking to buy UPS

[watercooled]

I'm looking to buy a UPS, preferably line-interactive and with a power output of >300w continuous. Not sure how much I'm looking to spend, but if they turn out too expensive I might get a standby UPS or a good quality surge protector. I believe APC is a good brand?

Just get the most expensive APC Smart-UPS you can afford.

Why have a UPS when you can have your own homemade......wait for it......nuclear reactor:

PSU? FSP are apparently quite a good budget make

.....what

lol Another vote for APC here - server grade equipment, decent management software, certainly the best bet. You don't see any other makes in use in critical areas tbh - schools, offices etc out in the sticks with an iffy power source all benefit from the regulatory properties of a UPS and they're mostly running APC

Thanks for the advice guys

Edit: what model should I go for - ES/CS/RS for APC? Am I right in thinking the RS model is line-interactive?

Smart-UPS, not Back-UPS.

Oh, sorry I misread your post. I'll have a look now. Thanks

Edit: I found this model. Looks ideal.
