right a digital power invertor is what you would wanna buy spending a little more, but that is why dominator suggested 650VA UPS.

What's VA?

 

[techtronic]

1 VA (UPS) = 0.6 Watts (SMPS)
Use the PSU Calculator to decide what PSU you want.
Depending on that buy UPS.

yup thats true.
cheap inverters do not provide a stable pwr output reqd for running pcs.so to run pcs u need to get a good quality pure sine wave inverter whihc costa anything between 9-15k depending on VA.next u need to purchase battery whihc depends on how much backup u want.the more backup u want the more u hafta spend on battery.
