I would use a separate APC for each computer, and use the APC to charge
the batteries, also, they will switch back to AC once the power is
restored in time, or when you start up your backup generator, plus they
supply better filtering than most dc to ac converters, unless you get
one with a true sine wave output.

Since I already have a station power supply, with a pair of deep cycle 12
vdc batts floating across a 35 amp power supply with a blocking diode in the
dc plus lead, I am thinking of getting a 12 vdc to 120 vac inverter on the
battery output...to feed two desktop pc's plus two lcd monitors.

For the past couple of years I have used an APC 1500 ups to feed both pc
workstation and also am thinking of just getting another ups to feed the
second workstation...if an inverter proves to be now the best way to go.

Before I re-invent the wheel, am wondering if anyone has done this
before...thanks
