Help with UPS

[winuser2000]

Hey guys I want to get my parents a UPS for chrstmas for their computer. They just got an automatic natural gas generator and it takes like 10 seconds to kick in after the power goes out. I want to put a cable box and their computer on a UPS that will last at least 15 seconds with no power. Will this thing do the trick? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...C-DealNews&cm_mmc=AFC-DealNews-_-NA-_-NA-_-NA

Any other cheap solutions you can think of?

THanks!

It depends on what they are plugging into the UPS. What will they be plugging in? What's the specs of the computer?

juts a 350 watt power supply and a cable modem.

Got a model # for the computer? we need the specs of the computer. Its most likely not using all 350W with that PSU.
