Can anyone recommend a good place to look for a UPS within reasonable reach of Ely?
So I'm looking for 600+ watts, at least 3 battery-protected 220C power outlets.
One good thing about the Belkin was that its controlling software came also in a Linux version, allowing clean shutdown of connected machines.
I've had a look in PC World in Cambridge, and their current stock of stuff is not up to what I'm after, though maybe I could go for a lower-rated UPS per machine. Not keen on proliferations, though!
Since you made it as far as PC World, how about an APC unit, possibly from WOC? All the Linux support you need is already in most distributions (certainly no trouble with Debian Sarge and USB :-)
APC batteries look easy to replace, but I couldn't comment on their availability.
