k im looking at getting a BIG UPS

looking at:

APC 1500va about $224

Belkin 1500va about $135

both of these are from newegg

which of these would be best for my current and then my new one

New computer:(will build later this year)

17" CRT monitor (maybe 2x 17" LCD)
AMD FX-62
ASUS mobo
650 watt BFG PSU
LG DVD writer
4 GB RAM
2x 500 GB SATA HDD
250 GB IDE HDD
160GB IDE HDD
Video Card(not sure what yet)
ATI TV wonder
Water cooling(everything CPU,GPU,HDD)

i need something that will give me a good bit of time to save stuff or to finish what ever im doing (quit games and still have time to shutdown so... like... 30 min?? maybe whatev i need something any advise or a better price somewhere?

i might want to run 2 or even 2 + a laptop off this with these support that much stuff with any time for battery time?

how big of UPS would i need to do all of this?
 
UPC? i dont know what u r talking about

im looking for an Uniteruptible power supply

a battery backup system
 
I think either of those should be fine. APC tends to be higher quality and has a better replacement policy (more $ covered, if it matters). For the money I would just get the Belkin as it's about half the price, though. As long as it's reviews are good of course.
I'm not the most knowledgable person as far as UPS goes so you should definitely get a second opinion. Belkin and APC tend to be about the same price retail, I think the only reason Belkin is cheaper on Newegg is that the retailer always puts a TON of markup on it, their accessories are big money makers.
