One puzzle: Given the prevalence of dodgy mains power in the Fens (and no doubt elsewhere), I'm surprised there are so few outlets for UPS kit. PC World don't seem to hold them any more, and the only place I know that does (World of Computers ar Milton, near Cambridge) only sells APC, which do not supply monitoring and control software for Linux (nearest is Apple OS X), whereas Belkin do (but my old Belkin UPS is getting fragile now).
You don't want to use the Belkin software (or at least, I really don't, given it's binary only and the install seemed fairly shonky). NUT (http://www.networkupstools.org/) is must saner and seems to support a wide range of devices.
