I don't know about 30 minute uptime for 2 systems, but I've used APC UPSes for 
years ( shudder, even before Linux) and now I use apcupsd to alert me. 
Sometimes I don't even notice the power hit, but I get told about it later, I 
like it like that! I think I've got the Backups Office Pro 650. I power my 
laptop & desktop from it, but only one monitor.
