I'm interest in buying a UPS (Uninterruptible power supply). I know their 2 types of UPS ; the standby power systems (SPSs) and the on-line UPS. I know the different between then. But I'll like to do your experience with UPS in general. Does it's realy worst the cost to buy a on-line UPS. I'll like your call on that UPS I should buy that can shut down my computer when I'm not at home. When I'm not on it, it's in stand by mode protect by a password. Will the UPS still be able to make a shutdown on my box?

Beside question, does a lost of power affect a Box when it's Stand By mode?

I have a Box with Win Xp Home. I have use Gibon Research Corporation program to disable my Universal Plug and Play on Win XP. I thing I need to reactive my Universal Plug and Play if I want to buy a UPS that use USB. I have also a Linksys Router, a HighSpeed Modem and a screen to plug to my UPS.

Thank you for your answer..
