And the APC Smart-UPS 750 units are not all that expensive either. Even
the 1500VA units are a lot less expensive then they were 5-10 years ago.
$250-$300 to protect $2000-$6000 worth of hardware is worth it in my book.
(I prefer the Smart-UPS units for a variety of reasons. Line filtering,
voltage regulation, and nice reporting features via apcupsd. We have
MRTG polling the apcupsd data regularly and have graphs of line voltage
/ operating temperature. There are even variants with the audible alarm
disabled, which is perfect for a home office where you don't need that
high powered screech.)
