I'm thinking of purchasing APC-BR1500LCD-1500VA-Outlets-BACK-UPS and
just curious if anyone has Pros & Cons on this model (or similar APC
backup UPS) FOR:

DELL XPS 420
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
3GB RAM
32-bit OS
Windows Vista Home Premium
Dual 22-inch LCD Monitors

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

DELL INSPIRON E1505
2GB RAM
Windows Vista Home Premium

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds good to me, however I will add one general observation.

We have a UPS in our phone room at work and there is no air conditioning
in there, the ambient temp is not good for the batteries that are lead /
acid gel types. I rather think finding a well ventilated / cool place to
put it would he'p you extend the life of the unit.

BTW when batteries in such things need replaced you local "Interstate
Batteries" store is probably cheaper than most. We use some medical
equipment at work and the price difference between buying the same
darned battery can be $100 or more...

Charlie,

Thanks for the tips; especially regarding the batteries. I plan to keep
the UPS in a very cool location.
