what Steve said. I've got basically the same set-up demands, and APC does have OS X software to shut down your computer in case of a power outage.<br><br>[color:red]Bibo, ergo sum</font color=red>

Supposedly, It'll power my system for a/b 20 min. I have it set to shut down automatically after 5 minutes. I haven't been away at the tinme of any outages yet, so I dunno if it actually works, but there's no reason not to expect it to.<br><br>

Zach - something to consider when looking at the many different models of UPS units - check the number of outlets that are battery protected. It's not necessarily the same as the number of outlets provided.<br><br>

Well, I can't find the exact one I have, but I think it's similar to this. Anyway, don't get it. It can't support both my G5 and my monitor. Kind of annoying.<br><br>

I have the CS 500 also. Three outlets for battery backup and three for surge protection only, plus a phone line protector.<br><br>[color:red]Bibo, ergo sum</font color=red>
