> * Have output of 800+ Watts for 10+ minutes (to hold several computers) That's a lot of power. UPS's are sold as being rated in Watts, but are really sold in VOLT-AMPS (VA). 800 Watts is 1131 VA. The conversion factor is 1.414 times Watts to equal VA and the other way around is .707. The units are always over rated anyway, so it is best to run your UPS at about 1/2 of it's rated capacity. I have a cheap UPS with a serial port so I won't recommend it.It's rated at 800 "watts" (560 watts). It happily runs two PC type computers, a YES MAX, a HOT set top box, a cable modem, a 16 port hub/switch, and a Cisco ATA at 42% capacity. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
