I have a Back-ups CS350 which works great. its got 6 outlets on the back and protection for your phone and lan lines as well. Also has monitoring from your computer. One of these will run around 75-85 bucks depending on where you look. keep in mind these are very heavy so you might consider purchasing them from a local ripoff shop unless you just get a killer deal online and the shipping isn't outrageous. Since i bought mine we've had two lightning strikes very very close to our house and both mine and my dads (6 year old apc) are still running like champs not to mention all the equipment plugged into them.

Good point! I just bought an APC LS700 from someone on the overclockers forum (cw382 or something), and its been great. Nothing like losing power and having your equipment stay on so you can save, etc.
