Belkin 1500VA UPS @ Buy.com $135 FREE SHIPPING TOO

If you have all equipment in the same area this should be able to run it all. It is the one I am using currently.

Mixed results on Belkin... I have two, and both failed (and I mean went dead) with in a month of each other. They were about 3 yrs old at the time.

hmm, I've had mine about 6 months, no problems yet. Maybe the batteries died...arent you supposed to replace them every few years anyways?

Normally batteries dying doesn't cause the unit to go dead.

ok, I wasnt 100% clear that the whole unit was dead....I'll try to keep that in mind in 2.5years

I just ordered that Belkin UPS to try it out. Not a bad price, and if I find one better, my parents need one at their store anyway Razz

. Forget about protecting the extra stuff in the basement for now, that's not as important as this desktop.

I think you can't go wrong if you get a good APC unit?

I think you still can go wrong...but if I can decrease the possibility of an issue, it's worth it.

This really doesn't have anything to do with the RAID, though, haha.
