One issue you might want to bear in mind is the type of output. Some
upses only output a modified sine wave. Both Belkin and Enermax have
told me that this is not suitable for many modern PSUs, and so I bought
a (Belkin) ups with a pure sine wave output. They seem to cost a
little more. This may, however, just be a European issue. I'm not an
expert.
I use nut with this.
