Alright I do not own a UPS that works. I have one that the batteries are shot and the unit may be as well. SIster found it on side of the road. Batteries are 100 bucks or so each.
I have been looking at this http://www.walmart.com/ip/APC-450VA-Back-UPS-ES-120V-8-Out./12321684 but I am wondering is it any good? I know people on the website says so but it is walmart. I will only be pluggin my phone PC and External bay into it, and maybe the wireless router and PoE for the receiver outside.

Looking at spending right around 60 because I will not be getting enough back from my bookstore return for college to try and buy a nicer 200 dollar unit. I don't mean to be cheap in this case but I really do not need much of a UPS because if Power goes out my Pc shuts down quick normally anyways. Also this unit has the 75000 protection on it.
 
Do you know how much power your PC uses? If not list what you currently have in your system. How long do you want the system to be operational during power loss?
 
Oh forgot about that.
Phenom II x4 3.2ghz
Intel V series 40gb SSD
WD Cav Blue 7200 rpm Sata 3 500gb HDD
Gigatbyte 880GA-UD3H
Radeon HD 5770
OCZ Fatality 550W Modular PSU

I would only need like minute and a half of uptime because I would not be using my system if power went out.
 
Sweet. Except I have not turned in my books yet from this semester. But when I do I may get this.
 
I personally use APC - Back-UPS XS 1500, have had no issues with it.
