I use Cyberpower battery backups on all my electronics. Either a solenoid locked up or lightning took out 1/2 my Pin-Bot main board and since then I never go straight into the wall. I also use this brand for my pc and non arcade/gaming room as well. APC is also another good brand that I use.

I use this CP1350AVRLCD (or very close model to it) for my laptop/pc/projector room. They all have a high draw and have never had an issue. Around $150~ http://www.neweggbusiness.com/Product/Product.aspx?gclid=CPeiuOaNxb8CFQGmaQodNDgAyw&Item=9B-42-102-070&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleBiz&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleBiz-_-pla-_-UPS-_-9B-42-102-070&ef_id=U7oBNAAABfEeTwbN:20140714152243:s

I use a much cheaper one for my game room with the flat screen modem router and console systems (nes,snes Wii-U ect)
Around $50. here is a link at tiger direct http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7120374&CatId=233 I also have a very similar model to the $50 one for my 5x pinball machines and just a surge strip for my MAME machine.

Yes it might be overkill, but I swear by them keeping my machines safe. They are great but I would not run a machine simply on the battery charge if the power went out. More of a safe shutdown opportunity and if that one in a billion chance of my best game ever is going on and the power goes off situation arises. Also good if the power goes out to unplug them, and use for a poor mans light source! My big APC one gives 600+ minutes on a CFL bulb.
