Because I live in New Orleans, where the frequent rains always play havoc with the line voltage, and I do my own video tape mastering and duplication, I had the entire front half of my house wired on UPS some years ago. Still have to reboot the computer at times because the cable connection disappears during some storms but I work right through them.

Strange thing is, light bulbs rarely need replacing in that half of the house! I just may end up paying for the system in savings there- seems they really love the buffered current...
