Too rich for my blood, alas. But after a bit of research it seems that
a good pick is the CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD, which, unlike affordable APC
models, does generate a pure sine wave (rather than a stepped sine wave)
current, and so works with recent active power supplies. They also claim
to have a Linux version of their UPS-management software. It's rated at
1500VA, so for a demand of about 850w. Retail price is around $250.

Before I actually buy it, though, I though I'd see whether anyone has any
experience with this UPS (or perhaps just with CyberPower equipment in
general). Views?
