APC SmartUPS 700 Rackmount 2U

I'm searching for good 2U Rackmount UPS and was wondering if $175 for a refurb unit with new batteries sounds like a good deal.

Or, if someone can suggest an equivilant quality (or better) unit for near the same price (or cheaper).

I would like everything in my rack protected by the UPS.

Here's what equipment I have in my rack:
D-Link 16 port Switch (DSS-16+)
D-Link 4 port Router (not sure model number)
D-Link wireless Router (DI-614+ [on its way and may replace my other router])
D-Link 4 port KVM Switch (DKVM-4)

I would like to have an idea of what else that UPS could cover.

I have two systems which are almost identical (just listing items that will give an idea of power usage).
300 Watt PS
Epox EP-8K7A
AMD 1700+
2 x 7200 RPM HDs
1 x CDR
1 x DVD

Other Items (I'm not too concerned about putting these on the UPS):
1 x MultiSync FE950+ 19" monitor
1 x generic 17" monitor
1 x HP 903C Printer
1 x D-Link Print Server (DP-101P+)

Thanks in Advance.
 
Just to let you know, those 700s are way underpowered for all your hardware. Go with at least a 1000 or 2000.
 
I have a 2400+, 2HD, 3 optical, and LCD monitor on my apc 700 floor unit and it 2/5 of the load meter on the apc 700.

You can get APC ups's super cheap on ebay.
