Thanks,
There is much more to this than meets the eye...........
For instance, look at this model :
http://www.tripplite.com/products/product.cfm?productID=3065
This pages says: UPS offers complete protection for PCs....
then later says: 350VA/180W power handling ability supports a variety of PCs, workstations and other sensitive electronics
So now I'm confused. I don't think there are any 180 watt PS's out ther running computers.
If amps = watts/volts & if VA = volts * amps then watts = VA right?

the sizing will depend on how much run time you would like without
power. I would say for the machine here I would get at least the 800 VA
but you could get away with a 500 VA.
