I've got three APC units here running my 3 computers, BMI box and a small
TV. You need to get a load size matched to what you have it connected to.
I recommend just getting 600 VA units so you won't have to worry about
being underpowered, plus you'll get adequate time if there's a failure to
orderly shut down your apps or get out of a trade (depending on the load of
your machine, anywhere from 10 to 45 minutes... you monitors, especially
large ones, are the biggest power draws).
