looking for a good UPS

[joshfrog]

hi guys

im looking for a good UPS that i can put my computers on. i would like it to be rack mounted and needs to have enough battery life to run my gaming pc and my server and networking gear off.

my gaming pc uses about 500 watts max and my servers and networking use about 100 watts. 

i would like to be able to run my computers long enough to shut them down or run my tablet and server off if needed.

 

p.s nothing like what Linus has with his power wall, just a good quality, long enough battery life unit. 

cheers hope you guys are having a good night or day, what ever time of day it is there.

When you say long enough,  do you mean long enough to properly sit of your gaming rig and server, or long enough to allow you to continue gaming and using your server?

long enough that i could shut them down so like 5min. i no most will be able to do about 5min or a little bit more but I'm just looking for a good quality one. 

my power doesn't go out much i live in Australia but i live in an older building the there's being times when the fuses have tripped and just want to protect my computers.

One thing I would recommend is to have two completely separate UPS system one for your main system and another for the server since most units unless the professional type units are only capable of having one safe shutdown connection per UPS.
