Perhaps I should buy two cheap UPSs and split up the protection.

I'm leaning towards this option. The sale is limited to 'one per customer' (not that that's stopped me before!) and I could put the NAS on the 325VA and the PC/router/empeg on the 500VA.
The monitor and cable modem are not important, although if I protected the cable modem then long-term internet downloads would be protected from blips as well. Hmm.

Thanks for all the replies! This is great!


edit:
Oh, yes- I was wondering about the shut down software that comes bundled with the APCs- does it engage immediately or is there some delay? Shutting everything off while grid power has only fluctuated seems like it should be avoidable. I bet they've thought of that. I can't seem to get Acrobat Reader to open the pdfs on the APC website. Hmm.
As others have mentioned, though, other software is available and the only requirement is that the UPS actually has the ability to signal for a shut down.
I think I'm headed to Fry's!
