Dabs and cclcomputers have little APC upses for sixty-odd quid stg 
plus vat - little 500kVa ones. Nice.

Me, I think it's a shame that servers don't have upses/batteries built 
into them so one can disconnect the power for a few seconds/minutes
with impunity. *Sigh*.

A big, expensive one. I had a 3kVA ups feeding two "average" PCs with 
19" Belinea VDUs for over an hour and it was almost "empty" at the end.

All the best,
Wesley.
