I absolutely agree about the UPS's. I bought a 10 minute Back-UPS just
to solve the problem Chris is having. I have 2 computers(just cpu's), a
cable modem, and a router/firewall on it without any problems. The only
problem I have now is when my switch loses power(I lose my mouse in X). I
hate having to do the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to kill X.
