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).
