Hi:I own a APC BACK-UPS Pro 500 CLR which give me about 30 min runtime on my 9600/200MP The only dissappointment I had was that I couldn't do automatic shutdowns because the software wouldn't run on my 9600. APC has great UPS's though and auto-shutodwn works (I tested it on another comp) as long as you have a compatible computer (Mac 0S 9.0.4 or newer including OS X, built in USB ports not older comp with addon card)
I'm looking to nuy a UPS for my smputer room. I'm running a iMac DV 500 my B&W 500; a Windoze and a Linux box. Where I live in New Jersey, I've have all kinds of power supply problems. Under-voltages, brown-outs, black-outs etc... I can easily protect my Windows and Linux boxes with Powerchute software and an APC unit but I'd like to get the Mac's behind a UPS that can do an auto shutdown like the PC's. Any suggestions?
Your imac DV should work, it has built in usb ports. If you just need the AVR technology and not much runtime then go for the Back-UPS 500 clr (the one I have) it goes along nice with the imac and will give you a good 20-40 min runtime. If you want alot of runtime (for extended outages) go for the back-ups RS, which comes with 40-60 in basic configuration and can be extended with a add-on battery pack up to 2 hours.
