EDIT: according to that site I was reccomended the APC BACK-UPS 650VA 230V

I'd get one big unit. A word of caution, the APC calculator seems to be a little conservative in it's recommended sizes. Start-up current can sometimes be a lot higher, and you UPS needs to be able to handle it. If APC recommend a 650VA unit, consider something a little bigger. And the bigger it is, the longer it will run on battery.
I have 3 UPS's!!
2 x 1500VA (APC RS 1500) units each running a full tower with quite a few drives etc, and one 15" monitor on one too.
1 x 500VA (APC CS 500) unit running a 19" monitor, printer, scanner and my cordless telephone base station! (Losing the telephone when the power fails used to be a real bummer!)
I haven't bought these all at once, and if I ever need to replace them, I'd get one large unit.
