hmm why so exe??
just get a bottom of the line ups that does support upsd and leave 
the not so important devices off it like printers/monitors, etc
my one was a very basic unit which doesnt support upsd but has 
protected me faithfully for a year through all the brownouts, etc.
My system has been through power blackouts before and never lost 
anything which is more than can be said for macrocrap loosedows 82
