I have just bought a new custom-built computer and Dell monitor as well as installing a new Brother printer.
I liked the looks of a CyperPower model I found at Office Depot. 625 VA, 375 watts, three-year warranty, with its own power monitoring software.
But I need to know what will be enough. For a good while I will be running two computers as I transition.
