Never lose vital data or productivity time due to a power outage or surge again with the APC Back Uninterruptible Power Supply. The Back-UPS features unique chargeable batteries that continue powering your equipment with up to 865 Watts in the event of a power interruption so that you can safely save your work and shut down your computer.
The Back-UPS will let you know if it is running on batteries, if the battery is low or if there is an overload condition. Once the event is over, simply reset the breakers on the unit and get back to work. As an added bonus, the Back-UPS will also conduct periodic self-tests to warn you if a battery needs to be replaced. The unit can also be customized and managed by your PC with the included software and USB connection.
The Back-UPS has been certified to meet the standards of UL, FCC, CE and more. For reliability during mission-critical projects and safety for your valuable data, make the APC Back-UPS part of your computer system today!
Pros: There are several nice features in this unit, including (1) 1500VA, 875W battery backup, (2) front LCD display, (3) 6x battery backup outlets, (4) 2x surge-only outlets, (5) Phone jack, coax cable, and user-replaceable battery. The front LCD is slick, and displays in/out voltage/freq, current load (in watts and percent of max), and estimated battery backup time left.
Cons: Beware the tech specs listed: (1)the surge suppression energy rating is only 340 joules! This is almost 1/3rd less than other brands at this VA rating. Second, and the biggest con, is that this unit only provides AVR boost and not trim/buck. Which means that during overvoltages, this unit will go to battery mode to provide safe output. If you live in an area with frequent overvoltages, go with a different unit that has true AVR in both directions, so that the battery isn't depleted during Trim/Buck modes. While other non-LCD RS series units from APC have true Trim, the LCD units do not. I confirmed this with an APC tech.
Other Thoughts: Watch out for the BX versions that are frequently sold in brick-and-mortar stores. Though they look like their BR counterparts, there are differences. Check APC's knowledgebase for details.
Finally, on a system equipped with a 17" LCD monitor, QX6700 CPU, 680i motherboard, 2x SATA drives, and a 8800GTX with 850W power supply, the system draws 280W idle, and 360W in intensive games. Even with a 1500VA UPS, this means that average runtimes will be 17 min (idle) and ~7 min (gaming).

Pros: I bought it at a retail store. After about a year, a lightning struck a tree out side my apt. The computer was on, the tv cut off. The computer never missed a beat. The tv and box was on an apc surge protecter strip. The lightning blew up 5 cable boxes and 5 tvs in the house. My stuff is still running!
Cons: NONE! same price here that I had bought it at the store year plus.
Other Thoughts: Still planning to get another !!!!

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Replaced an older APC UPS XL1000. Much quicker and quieter when going on and off. I have my LCD TV, printer, and computer running through this and I still have load to spare. My place actually lost power when I was playing the last map on MW2, and the power went out. All went dark except for my computer. This puppy kicked in and allowed me to keep gaming another 6 min to finish throwing the knife. :)
Seems to run cool.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: Power in the North East sucks so any electronics should have a battery backup. Also, don't connect the cable modem to this as it can cause signal problems. (according to the cable guy.)
Stay away from third party battery replacements. I have bought many and they last 6mo to 1 yr. Pay for the APC brand which last 3 years.

Pros: Great UPS, have had it for over 2 years, never had any problems through the power outages. The display is nice, particularly the time remaining and load wattage.
Cons: None.
Other Thoughts: To the "beware" poster: how are you measuring the voltage? Only higher end meters will read a simulated sine wave correctly.

Highlights
865W/1500VA Output Power The APC Back-UPS BR1500LCD provides a whopping 865 Watts / 1500 VA of maximum output capacity, enough to keep even the most power-hungry system running during power outages.
Impressive Battery Run Time The built-in battery provides up to 11.7 minutes of runtime at half load or 3.1 minutes at full load, so you can properly shut down your system in instances of extended length power outages.
Battery-protected Outlets with Surge Protection Eight outlets not only offer battery backup in the event of brownouts or total power loss but also protect connected equipment from surges, spikes, lightning, and other power disturbances.
Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) AVR intelligently adjusts voltages to safe levels without using the battery, so you can work indefinitely during brownouts and overvoltage situations, saving the battery for power outages when you need it most.
LCD Graphics Screen The front loaded LCD graphics screen delivers convenient operation and facilitates the readout of system parameters and alarms.
PowerChute Power Management Software Included The included PowerChute power management software provides advanced UPS management and safe system shutdown capabilities for your UPS-protected computers.
