What is the best way to have power backup for 7 pc ups

[mrapeti]

Hello,

I am setting a small office with 10 PC's and 1 Server with 11 LCD Monitors.

Looking for 3 hrs backup System, please recommend for the following scenarios:

Scenario 1:
1 Server + 5 PC + 5 LCD Monitors + 2 Fans + 24 Port Switch + Modem/Router

Scenario 2:
1 Server + 10 PC + 10 LCD Monitors + 2 Fans + 2 Lights + 24 Port Switch + Modem/Router

NOTE: Pls recommend the number of PC's with 1500VA and 2KVA systems aswell.

3 Hours for 1 server, 10 pcs + 10 LCd's + 2 fans + 2 lights and 24 port switch?

Sounds like you will need a generator, most UPS's don't last more than 30 minutes on a really power efficient system. Prepare for major costs though!
