not really a recommendation just some facts:
Bluewalker/Powerwalker VI 1000 LCD 1000 VA PSU.
Desktop (X4 955, 24gig, 3 HDD, 5SDD, HD5770) + 28'' Display + Fritzbox:
20+something minutes of normal desktop usage between power loss and battery
low signal
nut shuts down system on battery low signal
enought time to cleanly shut down and turn off computer
only partially supported by nut. To turn the beeper on or off you have to use
their java based powerwalker software. But the important things work (status,
battery low).
