I find this (http://www.apcc.com/template/size/apc/index.cfm?action=single_workstation&temp_country=GB&device_type=workstation) page very useful for determining the correct UPS size. It only recommends APC UPS's, but the ratings it recommends can be used for other manufacturers' models too :)

Hope this helps
