Ups?

[doctor15]

Hi!

After the hurricane the power in my dorm room flickers every once in a while (I dont think they've completly fixed everything yet). Anyway I figured I should buy a UPS after I tried to run my computer through the hurricane and it got shutdown three times. I dont know too much about them, but I've heard APC is the way to go. I was looking at the ES-725 and the RS 800 (cant find info on APCs site, but looks similar to the RS1000). I dnt want to spend too much money, and I'm looking for something that will power my computer, monitor and speakers through breif power outages/ spikes, adn safely shutdown my computer/ protect it during storms and power outages.

The main difference between those two im looking at (i think) is the Voltage Regulation. Is that something I need? If not I'll probably just go for the cheaper one.

What other ones should I consider? Anyone know of good deals on any (I saw the ones at dell).
