First off, sorry for posting this in the wrong section. Posted it here as most look in this section.

It's going to be the hurricane season soon and thus more thunderstorms,etc. So I need a quality UPS and surge protector set up by then.
Currently I'm looking at this UPS: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=4965171&sku=P227-2000

I have used PC Power & Cooling PSUs so I'm guessing their UPS's should be top quality.
I am currently using a CyberPower 825VA to protect my NAS.
The PC Power will go to protecting my NAS and my i7 (see sig). The current APC will go to protecting my E2180 build.
Here are my questions:
1.Is the PC Power UPS good, as in uptime/reliability?
2.Are there any better (but smiler/better quality) UPS in the $250-350 range?
3.My NAS draws under 150W )it's a Atom ), and my i7 full load draws <420W under load. So total power (wattage) is well within the 900W capability; how long can I expect the system to be able to provide power for the NAS only? and for both?
4.I currently have my set up as this: surge protector => UPS => NAS, is this the best method?
Should I add a 2nd surge protector after UPS for this system (the i7)?
5.Any recommendations for a quality surge protector under $100?
