The best $40 or $50 you will spend is to get an ups from Staples, Best Buy, etc. the next time they run a sale. Any size, (I run my desktop box using a 350VA APC unit) but be sure that it has a port for talking to the computer. Then load & start the correct daemon. You're not after really long run times (unless you get a real deal on a larger box) but you want the server to not bounce on every 30 second sub-station breaker pop. You you are really after is letting the box shutdown cleanly. Even with journalling FS's and such, it takes a long time to clean up on a re-boot...
