These are G R E A T (tu) for Dual Core G5's, Quads, Mac Pros, anything with the humungeous power supply/power requirements. I've been using one on my Dual Core G5 for almost 8 months, and have had PLENTY of opportunities to test out its abilities.>

I'm simply using the OS X Tiger Energy Saver Preferences, set to "Shut down computer when there's 4 minutes or less runtime" etc and it's worked flawlessly during several major outages here in Newbury Park this summer.
I paid $119 shipped from Buy.com on sale earlier this year. There isn't another 1500VA UPS with 8 battery/AVS/Surge protected outlets made. This is the best there is IMO. No fan to break down the road, no noise, great ergonomics (thin, light [24 lbs.}, svelte black)...it's a winnah!(
Don't let the Belkin brand fool you, if you're a skeptic: this is a heavy duty, quality unit. Puts my APC 1500VA to shame. 3 years warranty, $200K damage warranty. What can I say?B)-
