As I've said before, I prefer to buy the high-level APC units at 
auctions, SUA1500 or the equivalent rackmount version.  The batteries 
are always bad, but I have yet to have the UPS itself not work.  True 
sinewave output, and, including the cost of new batteries, a 90% or more 
discount.

There are places that sell these refurbished also.
