I have a small home server I built at the beginning of the year, and I would eventually like to get a proper rackmount UPS (right now I have one of the cheap ass APC ones and I am figuring out ways to have ESXi shut down with just usb connectivity available).
The server is not really power hungry, it only uses maybe 80W during boot and during normal operation goes down to 60W or so (though this will go up a bit after I add some more VMs).
I'd like to get an UPS that can keep it up for longer periods of time though since the outages here typically don't last half a day.
I was looking around and found Cyberpower PR1000ERT2U and APC Smart-UPS X 750VA thus far.
Which one would you choose?
I am also open for other recommendations.
Was looking into Eaton previously, but that's way too expensive for me.
Basically, I'd like to keep the price around or under $600 equivalent (new). I'd prefer 2nd hand stuff if it's not too ancient and loud (the rack is directly to my wife's desk and I don't have a death wish just yet).
Obviously, the UPS should have some network connectivity for management purposes. Cyberpower seems to have this by default and APC management card can be had for a few bucks off Ebay.
