I am looking into buying a UPS for my 360, so that I don't have to worry as much about it if the power goes out. (We have A LOT of power outages around here, which is VERY annoying.)

I have one for my iMac that works great, but my 360/TV are across the room, so i'd like to just get a small battery backup to power the TV/360 when the power goes out. My TV is a 4 or so year old 27" CRT, BTW. I only need it to keep the 360/TV running long enough that I can have time to turn them off.

The battery backup I use with my iMac is an APC, not sure of the specs, but it's pretty huge and works great. My previous one was also an APC, but it was a smaller model and it died in a relatively short period of time....maybe 5 months or so, so I'm skeptical about buying a new one like that. Anyone have any brands to recommend? Thanks in advance.
