If UPS systems are the only feasible way to obtain it, why no one thought to somehow include them inside desktop systems? I'm sure that they're out there but not in most applications. It's all about smaller and lighter now adays with electronics, but you could probably find a PSU and a UPS combined somewhere; not sure how big it would be or if it would fit within the ATX formfactor for desktop systems, though. Now, mounting something off the back of the case is another story... I'm getting too creative right now so I'll just stop :) I'm thinking you could make the capacitors on the high voltage side MUCH larger so it would last longer.  It would still have to be a fast shutdown though.  Something like shutdown -h -t -5 minutes ago.  LOL  The only thing about that is charging them when you first turn on the computer.  Dale :-)  :-)
