Anyone using battery backup

Does anyone have their computer, HD(s) & LCD on a backup just in case of a brownout just to give you time to shut down? If so, what are you using?

Never replaced that because I switched to a laptop. I would never use one of these on my audio gear, though.

The APC has been great, really cleaned up my system from the day I put it in. Like Kennyt we have terrible power, so I am very careful about how my gear is connected to power grid. We have lost 3 laptops and even worse, the computer portion of a Thermador 30" convection oven has been replaced twice in 5 years and looks like toast again now. All from power surges.
