using 120V dual voltage devices in a 230V type C/J UPS

This was originally posted on APC forums on 7/13/2014

I am moving to Rwanda, where the voltage is 230V. I have a all in one 24inch desktop, a laptop, a wireless router, printer, and likely charging my cell phones occassionally off this UPS. It has been recommended to use a UPS to prevent damage from frequent brownouts. All my current electronics are dual voltage 120V-240V, and they are all with the american/canadian outlet type. What type of UPS should I be getting, and can I get that here in North America before I move there as it is very expensive. I was considering buying a power bar without surge protection to plug into one of the type C/J plugs so I can plug most of my electronics into, or do I need an adapter at each output slot?
