Please suggest a good UPS for my PC. Should be able to handle a load of up to 900~1000W. I guess something between 1500~2000VA is required. Budget is max 20k. Protection takes precedence over backup time.

In a similar situation, shopping for UPS though I'm leaning towards 1KVA UPS. Have put my faith in APC this time after using an assembled 600VA ups thats lasted 10 years.
The smart ups line is a pure sinewave UPS. The SUA1000XL 1kva one is 11.5k without battery and with 20 min backup was about 2k more the last time I checked. I decided to get the one with provision for external batteries.
So you should be able to get the 1.5KVA version within your budget
I have read a few complaints that the fan used is a bit loud when it charges the battery
edit - found this site where you can check prices http://agsystemsindi...pc_sua1500i.php
and another useful old thread http://www.techenclave.com/topic/451740-which-ups-will-handle-this/#entry896927

I guess SmartUPS SUA1500i is the perfect choice for me, but what is the best place to get this from?
The prices they offer are a little on the higher side.
But this is offset by the fact that you get the entire line-up details including rare 700VA and 800VA options.
You might get a better price from your regular PC vendor. Try checking with them
^^ Sadly, I don't have a regular local PC vendor anymore after I moved to hyderabad. I get most of the stuff online (mostly from Prime or ITDepot) and neither of them have it. Also there is the question of shipping a 27Kg UPS.
Calling APC is also an option, but I think they would try to tell me the stuff at MRP which I guess can be anywhere from 3~5k more than market prices.
I can go up to CTC, but I don't know anyone reliable/decent or anyone who stocks APC over there. Most of the dealers over there are extremely noobish and inconsistent. Last time I went there to pick up a Core i5 2500k and a stick of DDR3 RAM, they were trying to sell me a 3k el cheapo motherboard to go with the 12k CPU. When I told them that I don't need a motherboard, they were telling me that I cannot run the CPU without the motherboard and a hard disk..

So are there any reliable dealers in CTC that stocks APC and sells at decent prices.
