APC Back-Ups. Depending on how long you want this system to run. 1000VA would last longer than 750VA. They have a page here to help you pick a UPS.

You'd need a voltage regulator if you have a lot of brownouts in your area or the circuit your system is on takes a hit when other devices are turned out. If neither condition applies, then don't worry about voltage regulators. Surge protection is something you want.

I'm biased toward APC simply because of the great customer support they have, but Belkin is another good choice.
 
I definetly have a lot of brownouts in my area and hole country (Honduras).
So, Should Istick with 750 VA if i'm not worried about long lasting backup ???


By the way great ups selector from APC
 
As long as it gives you enough time to save and shut down, then it's fine. I would think that that unit would give you enough time. Even my 350VA UPS I use works quite well with my main box. It gives me plenty of time to shut down the few times I've needed it.

Oh, and I just saw their line of voltage regulators, which would be something you might want to snag as frequent switching between the AC and battery backup is hard on the UPS.
