To those who have the CyberPower units - how's the software for them? I have an 6 or 7-year-old BackUPS 1500 that works OK but the battery is probably degraded. I think I got it because the Linux support was decent. Then I stopped dual-booting this machine so the Windows software was the only thing that mattered. The APC software is functional, if maybe a little underwhelming.
(To the OP, I have an older version of
this - $155 on Amazon, I've had no troubles with it. Mine isn't sine-wave though, which seems to be
this for $190. So the CyberPower boxes seem to be in the same price ballpark. If you are going to hook things directly up to the UPS, check the outlet spacing, some are pretty tight, but the BackUPS has at least 2 staggered/larger-spacing plugs which can be handy. If you're hooking everything up to a power strip it doesn't matter.)
