I'll second the Tripp-Lite recommendation. Plus, they're a System i
shop.

Just looking for advice on what I need to look for in a UPS, and a
good
place to get one. Sams? Best Buy? Office MAx? Online? NewEgg?
I have to admit that I still don't have the machines set up correctly to
softly failover, but since I installed two Tripp-lite UPSs (one for my
System i's and one for my PCs) I haven't had a burp. This is through
brownouts, near-strikes, flickering power, and even a 3-year-old kicking
the
plug.
They're not cheap (I think they list in the $600-700 range), but you get
what you pay for. You could probably go for one, depending on your
network,
and maybe even something a little smaller, depending on the number of
non-System i devices you plan to keep going during a blackout.
I've burnt out quite a few $100 UPS boxes. First couple of brownouts,
they
seem to get dead quick. They do make great doorstops, though!
