How much are you willing to pay for it? Are you going to be using the computer under significant load during those two hours? To get two hours of run-time under non-trivial load, you may need a unit that supports multiple external battery packs. The external batteries may end up costing more than the UPS itself.

Well not to much but i want a ups which can stay running for about 1-2 hours, i would probably be play a game or tow and surfing the web during that time. nothing to serious with load.

Well, if you checked the prices for 1kVA UPS that can hold for 2h, you are looking at price tags in the $1300-3000 range. You would be better off buying a $200-ish UPS for your modem+router and a laptop or/and tablet for your down-time browsing/gaming needs.

When I get hit by a power outage, I put my computer into hibernation, load a bunch of pages to read on my tablet, shut down the UPS and hope power will come back before I am done reading.
