I have two UPS units picked out at the price point I am willing to spend. They both have similar specs and pricing (I have free shipping on both). They will be powering 1 modest desktop PC with a 450W PSU. Still can't figure out the difference between Watts, VAs, and joules surge protection. Help me out electrical gurus....thanks.

1. OPTI-UPS Clever Series CS730B 730 VA 365 Watts 4 Outlets UPS
2. powercom IMP-625U 625 VA 375 Watts 6 Outlets UPS

Power wise (Watts) they are pretty comparable, however the powercom has a better surge protector (Joules).
However they are not a brand that I would normally use, I would recommend you also look at APC and Cyberpower.

Thanks Jantech, lots of views but you were the one who came through! I really like the first one (CyberPower) and for $65 and free shipping, seems like a good value. These UPSs are freakin' expensive...thought about just getting a used car battery and rigging something up in the office.
