Okay, I'm thinking of picking up a UPS/AVR soon. We have a $300 CyberPower one at Best Buy that I can get for $200... But I'm wondering if I should go with the CyberPower, or get an APC... The CyberPower is 950 watts. I was thinking of trying for 1500 Watts to support my computer (550W PSU), 22" monitor, Klipsch 5.1 speakers, Eheim 1250 water-pump, and soon to be 800 Watt Phase change... And possibly a cable-modem and router. I haven't checked out the exact voltage I would need, but would it be worth it to get one that would support all of this?
Also, does anyone use Automatic Voltage Regulators and can tell me if they help keep your comp stable any more than normal? Also, would you recommend APC over CyberPower?
Thanks
