1 I have several Belkin UPSs which over the years have only let me down
2 once (we had a power substation fire which did some really funky things
3 to the AC for a couple of minutes, afterward my motherboard on one
4 computer "protected" by a Belkin UPS was dead). My main complaint with
5 the Belkins is there insistence to loudly beep every 30s when on
6 battery. Acceptable for 1 UPS, really annoying for 5... :-)

8 Also I tried an off-brand small UPS on my wireless broadband router in
9 the attic, it only lasted about a year before dying.

11 When shopping, check replacement battery cost and availability.

13 When sizing, you may want to include your infrastructure (routers,
14 switches) and displays.
