If like me you need to keep things cheap...but quality...
I have a single APCSmart UPS1400 that is running 4 servers (PII300 to PIII
800), one 3COM NBX 100 Phone system, 2 COM. SuperStack 3 switches and a
couple of small hubs. Add to that a cable modem router, and a monitor if I
feel the need. It will keep all this up for 15 to 20 minutes, or if I shut
down things manually, I can get a couple hours out of just the phone system.
My plan is to split the load with a second one as soon as I can buy, but
this is a workhorse for sure.
Just a thought to start with one good one if you can't get two (expand
later).

Regardless of which brand you opt for, the APC web
site: http://apc.com/sizing/selectors.cfm has a very nice selector that
will calculate the load of your equipment. Very extensive database of
specific computer, net', and telephony equipment, plus good ball-park
numbers for generic stuff.
