i got an APC 'Smart-UPS 2200 RM' offa ebay for like $500 after shipping,
new battery.
got ahold of a serial cable for it, and am using nut to watch
the status just fine.
on-battery-oh-crap powerdowns work dandy for it and the machines and
random things that're hooked to it.
last i remember i'm sucking about 350-400 W [1] at any given time off the
UPS, and it lasts about 25-35 minutes after a power off situation, with
everything staying powered on.
if i drop everything except for the VIA and its dsl modem, it lasts a
hell of a lot longer ( i think i saw it last just about 2h or so the
one time i did that )
