Hey guys,

Moving to renovated house soon. We redid all the electrical, 12 AWG wiring, new breaker box.

Is it wasting money to get a Pure sine wave UPS for the following or just go with the normal simulated?
- Router
- VoIP
- PoE switch powering an AP
- 24/7 File Server

Also not sure what size to get, I just want the 1-2 minute uptime for an LGA 1366 based server with 1 CPU that will be idle 99% of the time to be able to gracefully shutdown. And then maybe 15-30 mins for the rest.

My desktop will be in another room. HX850 PSU. Don't care about file corruption or anything, I currently use a cheap Belkin surge protector, is there anything I can do that would make sense here? I've noticed with a good PSU, OCs are more stable and hardware seem to last longer on it. I would just want to reinforce that.

As for an A/V receiver... I might get one in the future, what is the best way to protect it?

What makes sense price/quality-wise for my needs?
