It also came bundled with APCs power chute which can automatically stick your comp into hibernation mode if the power goes off.

Edit - that site listed above recomends:

APC BACK-UPS RS 800VA 230V

Part Number(s):
BR800I

Price: £139.99

However I get on fine with the 500
As always - the site will recommend that you get the next one up from what you need, to allow for usage growth (or more importantly from their point of view profit growth)
