Power Conditioner And Battery Backup Questions

[Bluray Freak 2009]

Hi again things are moving smoothly and I just got my extra 50ft speaker cable from Monoprice so I should have everything up in 2 Weeks but I still have a few questions about a few items I would like to purchase here are some of them.

Power Conditioner And Battery Backup Questions

1.Is this product both a power Conditioner and a battery backup combined is this product good does any one have it or has any one used it is it better to get the power conditioner and battery back up as separate components?

Here is the link to the product I am referring too

2.If It is better to get the Battery back up separately I would prefer the brand APC but Bestbuy only sells them in it’s PC Section can I use one of those?

I mainly want a Battery Back Up for 4 components the AVR, PS3 Xbox 360 because I want to shut them down properly ,and too keep my DVR running at least until the show I was watching gets done recording.

Is the product below enough for all of this or is there a more better one than this?

Again Thanks In Advance For The Replys

A good rule of thumb with battery backups is the higher the joule rating the better. It's common that Best Buy sells them in the computer section as that is what most people use them for, but you can use it for Home Theater applications. The price seems a bit steep on this one. Have you searched around for better prices?
