Chak,
Good post but despite it, I'm inclined to follow the advice offered by APC when I spoke to them. Buy online UPSs that offer sine wave output for machines with PFC power supplies. Seems like a simple enough solution. Factor in discounts and the many options available, and you don't have to spend an arm and a leg for it. Even then, if you're spending two, three, four or more thousand dollars on your computer and associated hardware, i.e. Drobo, then a bit more for a good UPS of the recommended caliber is a worthwhile expense.
