BTW: The APC site will let you plug in some generic info, processor type/speed, monitor size, etc.. and make recommendations and provide battery run times for various models based on your power needs. I'm running an pro 1100 serial and have 2 printers a 21" monitor, computer, cable modem, router, printserver and zip drive running off it. It will run the computer, monitor, and router/modem for about 30 minutes but I've got apcupsd set up to just shut the system down after like 10 minutes of no power.
