just watch....how long does the ups has to provide the power in case of power failure 600va sound good as power rating but it seems the batteries can only delived that for a few minutes!!!!!!!
check the tech info
if you intend to connect the printer as well then you have to provide for surge power if its a laser printer

i'm using a 1600w unit & my powerbook, modem, phones can run for 3h of battery...... sometimes an inverter 12 to 240v, large battery pack (carbatteries) & charger unit can can keep going your mac for hours......

I should be receiving my quad core iMac 27 next week, after a shorter than anticipated wait :-)

I want to look after the power input and will be getting either a good surge protector or a UPS.

My query is what is a suitable size UPS for this computer considering the max continuous power is listed at 365W for the 27"?

I can get a 600VA for a reasonable price but the cost accelerates above that. Along with the iMac I will probably only be running the modem/router on the UPS.
