Hi Robert:
I agree, in retrospect I should have bought the 1500 models myself but since I run three the load is spread fairly well and they will hold me for now. Hopefully the new G5 models with the new Intel chips will start lowering the total power draw as it is getting a bit ridiculous IMO. Have two of my UPS monitored by PC's that I run with my macs and the Powerchute software really shines on the PC with a history of events including why the system was brought online for a surge, under or overvoltage, etc. The Mac version is very rudimentary. Hopefully this is all going to start changing with the Itel revolution.
