I'm considering picking up an APC Smart-UPS 1500 off ebay that comes with a network add-in card (APC 9619). Is this a valid combination for use with NUT? My goal is to eventually get this to be able to shutdown my ESXi box in case of power failure.
 
Thanks!

This is a sine-wave UPS, are the issues with simulated waveform and active PFC power supplies important enough to not overlook?
 
Never personally had a problem and i've got 5 of the things. Got a link to any information about the alleged problems?
 
Ah I know what you mean now, I'm pretty sure with APC it's only the BackUPS that aren't pure sine wave. Definitely never had any issues with the smart ups I've got and 99% of what I e got will have an apfc psu.
 
I think all the Smart UPS have a sine wave? Either way, I ended up getting one that did. The simulated wave form UPS are cheaper, but I'd hate to buy only to have it cause problems later on.
