I also need to purchase a UPS to protect my miners. I was thinking of something like this:

I like this, thanks! Battery back up is pretty cool. I wander how well that works.
I bought this PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171078
It was ~$50 cheaper when I got it. I think we're driving up the price.

Edit: APC makes some really good power protection products. Problem is there are so many and I have no clue how to shop for one. I may give them a call to see which one would be best for a Jupiter or two. Also, no need for a battery back up now that I think of it. If your power goes out, so does your internet. With KNC products having internal mining software, how would this work? Does it keep trying to connect to the internet without intervention? I'm sure these questions can't be answered right away. So I'm going to wait on this purchase. Surge protectors are all we should need for now.

that's not right. If your power goes out but both your modem and router are on a UPS as well, why would your internet go out? I am mining with network devices backed by a UPS as well and I do not loose internet during a power outage. At least as long as the UPS can feed the beasts. You will need a beefy server-grade one like a SmartUPS.

Hope this helps,

Well, in my experience/neighborhood, when my power goes out, so does the whole neighborhood and the internet. I have Comcast and that's what happens, but I understand your point.
