UPS recommendations?

[Federico Voges]

Hey,

I have a few APC SmartUPS (server range) and BackUPS (desktop range)
at my parent's house that been running for 15+ years. Except for
changing the batteries every few years, they are rock solid.

They deal pretty well with voltage fluctuations and even micro power
outages (the latter are sometimes tricky for some cheap UPSs).

They work well with apcupsd http://www.apcupsd.com/

Having said that, I haven't bought a new one in a while. So check some
reviews in case their quality went down (probably not).
