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?

This will be just as a backup for the computer, external HD's and the LCD for the computer audio part of the system. The UPS will plug into a surge protector. I also have a whole house surge protector.

Of course I would not use any of those for audio equipment. Battery replacement is a consideration when looking to buy one. Apc is the easiest I've worked with so far.

I use the biggest APC I thought was reasonable, it also covers my cable feed as well. A solid line protector with backup is also a good idea for your audio, but they are much different than for your computer and more expensive but also worth it!
