This is where I use the APC battery Backup - it's only rated for 350 VA, but it currently powering 5 headless boxes. It has an alarm for it when a fault condition occurs - including when too much power is being requested of it. When I hear that alarm, I simply move one box onto another circuit. (hasn't happened yet though- except for the usual residential power bumps).
