If you have power outages frequently you may want to look into buying your own deep cycle batter(y|ies) and an inverter (computers will want a true sign wave inverter). Then it is trivial to add capacity and the quality of the system tends to be much higher. You will also want an automatic transfer switch if you want it to automatically fail over to battery power and not have to plug specifically into the battery power. It really is trivial to setup. Having gone through a number over the years, I've become rather tired of buying consumer grade APC style UPSs which never have enough capacity while the big datacenter grade professional UPSs are far too expensive. For long term power solutions you can even connect solar panels and a charge controller to the batteries. There are lots of youtube channels these days describing how to set all this up. I bought all my stuff on Amazon. -- Tracy Reed
