I'm thinking about getting one. I hear they do wonders for routers and it'd be nice to have one for when the power goes out in lowly Kansas.

Find out how much wattage you need and how much battery life you want so you can start looking here:

I've only seen a few and they were all APC, so if that helps...

This is the one I use at home. Sooooo many times this has saved my system. I get all kinds of small brown outs on occasion. This will hold my system up, monitor, router and modem for nearly 13 mins.
