Small info first: VA (Volt Ampere) is not the unit of power.

A 600 VA UPS usually supplies ~360 W of power, which is not sufficient for two old (read inefficient) PCs. I suggest you get another UPS for the second PS. APC makes high quality UPS. APC 600 VA is available for 2200.

thanx for replying

microtek is also a good one, this currently gives me around 15 20 min backup.
will APC be better than this one

definitely. With an APC 600 VA UPS, I get ~35 minutes of backup on my current rig (in the sig.).

The backup time will depend on load. Between brands, only the build quality and longevity changes. Of course I'm not saying anything about the piss poor batteries in Microtek.
