In general, I've always found APC to be poor value for money. To provide
a proper solution, you need connectivity between your PC and the unit,
to ensure a clean shutdown in times of extended power failure. This can
limit your options, as there's limited software available - NUT and
networkupstools spring to mind, and - just to shoot myself in the foot -
there is dedicated software for APC.
The Libert PowerSure range may be of interest to you as an alternative,
as would the smaller Eatons, plus a smaller one for the Router /
wireless / switchgear if necessary.

List dwellers,
The less than satisfactory Dynamix 1000VA UPS that I had a Desktop box
and LCD monitor connected to, has coughed its last and been scrapped.
It worked to a fashion but I guess I got what I paid for.
Now, what I'm after are "real world recommendations" of what is a
linux friendly device to procure as a replacement. That is, it must
play nicely with the NUT suite.
I've applied my 'Google' skills and see a range in the marketplace,
I'm already swayed toward APC but have seen EATON mentioned a few times.
What are people on this list using in SOHO applications, or are we now
all laptops, tablets and smart-phones.
