Recommendations for ups

[gasnmyveins]

We've recently (after a power scare) decided to get an uninterruptible power supply. We have a surge protector, which we will probably use in series with the new supply. I believe they all come with a surge protector built in, but I figure that this is one of those "if some is good, more is better" times. I can't imagine that having 2 would hurt anything.
The protector I have now is an Interex 1050TX. I can't find it on the net, so I'm not sure how much protection it provides.
I'd like to add a ups so we don't risk corruption of windows from an improper shutdown. It wouldn't be the first time...... What do you all recommend we get. We wouldn't need to continue working for an extended time, just long enough to save everything and shut down through windows. I'd like to be reasonably sure that we wouldn't get anything fried from a nearby lightning strike, as well.
Thanks, Don.

Most UPS systems are good for about 8 hours. That should be enough time to safely boot down your system and not lose information as would a sudden shut down. get one that covers your desktop/laptop power supply wattage rating and add 500 watts.
