Think it's cheaper to use an APC with the rack cards (9617-9619) from ebay. They're roughly $15.
The SNMP support is fantastic, better than Mikrotik IMO. Using Powercode I get alerts when the batteries get used at all (dipped below 100%), the input/output voltage is anything outside of 120 +/- 10%, and a few other things.
