Reply #25: Well first of all, get a good sized APC UPS like a 1300 or larger. [View All]

Hook an incandescent lamp, a clock radio, and the power supply for your cordless phone into it. You can charge your cell phone from it as well.

If you don't use it for running a computer, you can get a SHITLOAD of time out of it for those purposes.

I've got 350's and 500's all over the house. My main computer zone has a 1300 for my primary workstation and two 500's to handle other devices.

It will NOT run a TV, but if you use a laptop and keep it charged you can run your router and modem from the UPS and stay online for a very long time.
