OK, I'm a smart guy (don't ask my wife) but do I really need a UPS that will handle 1000W with my new DSO system with a 1000W PS?
 
Is their some rule of thumb for this (i.e. PS Watts / .5)?
 
Thanks!

Haha I think he meant an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Surge Protector.
I don't know but I think that even if you have a 1000W PSU in your system, it won't be using anywhere near that - probably closer to 400-600 watts depending on your components and what you're computer is up to at the time.
