I have an APC Smart-UPS 700 that I bought from RefurbUPS.com.  I can't tell
in the information I have which type of UPS it is.  Does anyone know?
Thanks.

For my really expensive gear, ham radio bench and HDTV I use a 
Un-interruptible Power Supply that runs off internal battery all the 
time and therefore hasn't got any switching gliches and spikes on the 
load side like the less expensive UPS systems.  If you are thinking 
about using a UPS be sure you pay the extra bucks to get the FULL TIME 
UPS rather than the transfer switch type.  Both unit types have 
extensive surge protection, so the money you were going to put into end 
point surge protection can be subtracted from the cost of the UPS.
