An Uninterruptible Power Supply is a handy battery backup device that in the event of a power cut, keeps your computer going for a few minutes giving you time to save anything. These devices will save your computer's CPU from power spikes, lightning strikes that will fry your modem and safeguard your computer.
See: Uninterruptible power supply - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are frequent power cuts and outages in Kalymnos which is why I bought one. They vay in price but have come down way lower in price.

UPS*
I've wanted one for a while, but frankly I have no need for it. I only want it because I'm a nerd.

Seriously what was the aim of this thread. 
A computer can't be that important that it must be on whilst everything is off, unless you require to run a web server that is critical to remain online. In that case fair enough. Better off spending money on a generator to power the mains in the house then just the computer in case of power outage. After just looking at that wiki page those UPS' have stuff all life :P I've worked around several hundred amp UPS' in the Australian Tax Office, and Several phone exchanges, Pretty cool seeing the sheer size.
Best option, Purchase a laptop ^_^

The main focus of a UPS is to allow a server to be shutdown properly, not to have it run continuously through a power outage. That would require a generator.

And generators are very expensive to get the high amperage you'd require for a power PC and it's hardware.
