    If you want to be able to have the computer automatically shut down when the power goes out, I would say go with APC's... Other then that I don't even connect my UPS's to my computers anymore...

Does anyone know of a quick way to change between power management schemes? For a desktop setup - I'm thinking of a utility that sits in the taskbar that allows you to quickly change schemes.
