Yet another nod to non-optional UPS use. I have an APC SmartUPS 2200VA protecting my main workstation and dual 24" LCDs, pfSense firewall, "server" box, and some assorted other gear (ie: switches, DOCSIS modem, etc). Another SmartUPS 1000VA protecting my main TV, HDDVR, HTPC, and more assorted network gear. I've got a 1000VA Tripp-Lite unit protecting my fileserver, and a BackUPS 650 protecting my bedroom's TV and HDDVR. Replaced batteries on the 650, my oldest unit, a couple years back. I've been using 3rd party batteries from Provantage.
