Assistance needed UPS

[Anonymous user]

I am currently using an iMac desktop computer. I also have a printer...I will be adding a dvd burner...and I am using DSL through Verizon. I am looking for a UPS that will allow me to shut down my computer manually in the event the power goes out or I have a brown out. I just don't want my system or files damaged. I had one years ago but it no longer works and I am in the market for a new one. I have been told to be sure it has a
phone-line input jack...Rating of 600joules or better...indicator light and to see how many outlets the unit has.

I am not sure whether to use a Stand by line interactive or on-line. I am very new to this
I want to be sure my machine doesn't get fried. If anyone out there has any input I would really appreciate it

Thanks
John

to begin, i'd look at our [Back UPS RS line seen here|http://www.apc.com/products/family/index.cfm?id=23]

We'd also need to know the size of the power supply in your computer to size you up properly. are you able to track that down?
