Just to provide another datapoint: I run three (older) boxes on one UPS rated at 300 VA, 180 Watts. The power supplies total 750 watts (IINM (If I'm Not Mistaken) -- 2 200s and 1 350)). 2 cpus are ~300 MHz, 3rd is 700 MHz, all AMD.
I also am looking for protection from short outages (2-60 seconds). UPS is Conexant. Includes an indicator light to show if the UPS is overloaded -- no indication so far. One day I will try a fourth system. BTW, if you live near a Staples, Staples had (and might still have) a $40 rebate running on two different brand 500 VA UPSs (Conexant and APC, IIRC), brought the price down to $10. Nothing fancy like a serial output to shut down your computer, but will do quite well if you deal mainly with short outages like I do.
