Power bar != good protection. Except in rare cases involving electrical engineers with a crapload of MOVs making aftermarket alterations.

UPS is more for voltage regulation and ward vs. brownouts than anything. If you don't need the battery you can probably just get a normal voltage regulator for less...same crap about evening out the ups and downs, no sustained battery power. Either should give you decent home protection against surges and such.

Liebert is apparently The Shit.

Not at the motherboard or memory I would have picked. Still solid though. Speakers are the first thing I'd upgrade if it was mine.

This is one reason why I don't like "A lists" sorted by brand.

Liebert makes a full range of products including "glorified power strips with batteries" that don't even have AVR.

I would qualify that statement. ;)

If you get a Liebert Powersure, only look at the Powersure PSA model.

All of their other non-Powersure" models are certainly going to have the features you're looking for and then some... then again, they're made for servers. ;)
