Don't know about specific models, or what they're like now, but the old 
ProPower UPS we've got here has been protecting the servers from when we had 
one 386 (cutting edge) and has survived being buried in dust, not being 
maintained for years, etc. We have had to replace the cells once, but that 
wasn't too bad, and the darn thing is indestructable. If they still make 
hardware this good...
