Bob,

I use a APC Back-UPS Pro 1400 on my Xserve. It hasn't turned off when  
the power has failed. Its way bigger than you need however.

You want to make sure to get a UPS that runs all power through the  
battery, instead of one that switches when it detects a failure, as  
those may not protect against the brownouts you see.

My uneducated opinion.
