how would you spend $1000 on a server?

Well their "consumer" models are useless of course.  The server grade
looks decent.  Seems the retail price is a bit lower than a similar APC
model as well.  greytech lists the PW5115 1400VA at just under $500
which isn't too bad.  An APC SU1500 is usually closer to $600 or $700
(except when Dell had their occational $200 sale, which is how I got
mine).

There are some cheaper cyberpower models that claim pure sine wave output,
but I am not sure about their quality at all.
