So what is a recommended UPS based on lack of repair experience?
Say around 1000W and say around $150 new.

Well, if 750W is actually enough and you just want it to ride out
few-minute outages and let your computer shut down gracefully in longer
ones, then those $50 IBM eServer 750Ts from eBay are excellent.
(Hmm...that has a nice ring to it) That plus a new set of batteries
comes in at $100 or so, and you'll have something pretty dependable IME.

The IBM-badged ones go cheaper than the (afaik otherwise identical) APS
SmartUPS 750s.
