I'm still putting the server together (heck, not even all the parts have yet arrived), so I don't yet have any load measurements. So, yes, I realize I'm jumping the gun by asking the question now, but I'm trying to get ahead of the curve if I can.
Any consensus as to what the "must have" features are or which UPS's best fit the bill?
Since most modern power supplies have power factor correction, I'm guessing that means a UPS that simulates a sine-wave upon power failure is pretty much required?
I've heard good things about this UPS: Amazon.com: CyberPower PR1500LCD Smart App Sinewave UPS 1500VA 1050W SNMP/HTTP Mini-Tower: Electronics
I did read this thread: https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/anyone-recommend-a-good-ups.844/
which asked a similar question to what I'm asking here. That person got an Eaton UPS, but it turned out to be loud. Sorry, but I don't want anything loud. For our household here, the UPS needs to be either silent or else pretty darn close to silent (definitely less than 20dba).
