Charles,
have a look at Harris Technology (ht.com.au etc) - they had a decent range
of UPSen last time I looked. I'd suggest an APC unit - reasonably priced
and reliable, and if you're interested their website has a section where you
can calculate approximately what sort of unit you need based on the hardware
that you want to protect.
