There was a 700VA UPS at Fry's.  (now AKA Outpost.com)  They were selling
them for $58 with a $50 rebate.  You might want to keep an eye on them for
that deal again.  It was a Joe-Generic UPS and did not have a serial port to
indicate that it was running on battery.  You should be able to modify the
design with a pic and add that feature.   It barely has enough time on my
system to keep it alive long enough to shut down, but very seldom does my
power go out for more than a few seconds anyway, so I just use it to bridge
the brown outs.

Hmm, APS? I haven't heard of that one, might you mean APC? If not I
apoligize in advance. I myself have an APC and I love it, not many frills,
but it gets the job done. TTYL
