You have a typical P4 based computer and a 19" LCD monitor. We've got a
BUNCH of systems like your running on the newer APC UPS units that
actually show the WATTAGE load in their little GUI. They run about 245W
during normal operation (Computer/Monitor). We buy the 650VA or 700VA
units so that the machines have about 30 minutes run time - which
permits a little operation time without power and enough time to cleanly
shut down the computer automatically.
