Ditch the desktop machines and get four laptops. Even if the power goes for an hour, you have no issues. Router can be connected to a very small UPS.
Sorted.
I suggest the OP gets down to WHSMith and buys himself some top shelf magazines. Least when the power cuts out it will not effect his Pot Noodling. UPNS.
From experience a mate had with APC kit several years ago, check out the software side to make sure the UPS can initiate a controlled shutdown on whatever kit you get.
He was running some non-mainstream kit and ended up rolling his own.
Sounds like you might need at least 1000VA UPS, you need to measure your actual power usage first to be sure but 1500 VA might be enough to give you enough juice to feed your CUK posting habit.

Rural living has its advantages but too many power cuts. Can anybody recommend a decent UPS that'll keep at least four machines plus a router running for at least a few minutes?
ClientCo have offered to pay since I work from home.
