If your power supply isn't fancy (ie not high efficiency and not very good
active power factor correction), then pretty much anything should work.

If it is high end and fancy, then your UPS is going to have to be too
unfortunately.

I only have APC UPSs myself, but I am sure there are other good brands too.
