  Tripp-Lite makes good power strips as well.  We have one of their 20
amp strips on one of our server racks.  Plugged into an APC UPS, as it
happens.  They seem to get along okay... ;)

  I do like the interactive LCD front panel APC is putting on all
their Smart-UPS units these days.  Tripp-Lite's UPSes all seem to have
horrible front panels.  Feels like you're lucky you get a power
button.

  APC is also using actual battery cartridges now, not just the OEM
battery with a sticker over the OEM label.  Plastic or metal carriers,
with sockets that plug in as you load the tray.  Makes changing
batteries a lot easier.  Justifies the price premium for the
APC-branded replacements now.
