Rene--
If all you're going to do is run the system and the monitor, you can get
by with a smaller unit. Depending on your monitor, a 500VA UPS should
be plenty adequate to keep things up for 5 minutes. (A 2500VA unit would
be considered serious overkill.) I just bought an APC ES 500VA Battery
Backup for $42US for an AMD XP2200+ system and a 17" monitor. It comes
with a USB interface that, in conjunction with APC's Powerchute
software, will safely shut the machine down if the power fails or drops
for more than a few moments.
I have had good experience with APC and would rate them the top in UPS
protection. They have a connected equipment warranty that is also very
good and which they have, in my experience, always honored.
There are also Tripplite and Belkin but I have no direct experience with
them, but hear they are considered good products.
