This is the stuff I have that I want to hook up to a ups

37 inch westinghouse lcd at 20% backlight (roughly 80 watts I believe)
1 pc with a 6000+ amd chip, 4 gigs ddr2-800 ram, 9 sata/ide harddrives, 2 dvd burners, lots of casefans, 750 watt modular TT psu
speakers, cable modem, wireless router


What I would like to do is get 2 of these.

1 will be for the monitor, speakers, cable modem, and wireless router.
1 will just be for the pc tower.

Is this a bad idea? I'd have the tower, wireless router, cable modem, speakers, and monitor connected to separate batteries but interconnected with speaker wires, video cables and internet cables. Not a good idea? I honestly don't know.


Or, is there a way to hookup the first UPS to the second UPS to run it in parallel mode? I basically don't want everything on one UPS because it would drain the battery too fast for my liking. I'd like ideally 30 minutes of use if I spread all the components out.


What is the best online ups?
 
You can do 2 of those no problem, having stuff interconnected by speaker wire and other cables won't be an issue. I'm using one of those cyberpower 1500 for my main rig, and even with the 37 westy on it as well i still get like 10 min runtime on battery
