4 years ago I see this was 47.99 at newegg as well. Guess that could be worse though as 4 years ago is a minute.
A monitor will generally pull about 35-50watts depending on what kind.
A system at idle with a 3090 will draw about 250w give or take.
IMO anything less than a 1500 VA isnt really suitable to be a backup for running computer. It's ok for a laptop buffer. or maybe plugging in a router/unmanagerd switch to keep the internet up but that is it.

Gaming machines may need 1200VA? TBD
I buy these small ones for LED TVs, some small medical devices, and Child nodes.
This exact unit came ok from Newegg on the last sale. But I agree about the return statements as you deal VFR direct with APC and their mercy. Shipping a unit back for a bad battery is cost prohibitive.
- 2 of those just died after a year+, had to throw them away
- New APCRBC154 12V 6A genuine battery costs $60 in Amazon
- "New" OEM RBC154 12V 6A battery goes for $37, but their quality sucks, they don't last for long (stop charging). I suspect they just recharge and re-label the old ones
- For comparison, very similar (even slightly better) in specs RBC2 12V 7A goes for $56 MSRP (currently $42) genuine and $20 OEM, but it can't be used in place of RBC154 - it won't fit
- So, financially it makes very little to no sense to replace battery in those upright models
- I was APC fan for a long time and still have few 8-10 yrs old "flat" units with RBC2 in service, just keep replacing the batteries
- ~5 years ago switched to Cyberpower, 1350VA and 1500VA, with no regrets. At least, they never died on me. The cost of replacement CP1290 12V 9A batteries is also reasonable. They take 2-pack ($20-25/each OEM), but can hold much higher load or the smaller load for much longer

The only exception is my communications center that will run as long as internet service is available, or I crank the generator.
The only reason I have all my electronics on a unit somewhere is the odd case of FW update on a device and security cameras.
The VERTIV deal that comes around a couple times a year is a better deal (although unfortunately it doesn't do signaling with Synology).

And I also tend to over-protect

True about VERTIV Liebert, but not being able to read/control it is a deal killer for me, I'd rather get CP. Liebert will likely end up protecting my TV and related equipment, which can't control it anyway.

I had four types of these, 2+ of each type. Lost power for a fraction of a second and the 10 or so OTHER devices worked fine. The two PCs connected to this specific model shut down instantly.
Fortunately there wasn't any damage, but this is ONLY a surge protector/powerstrip and tiny pathetic battery for charging things and will not keep your devices on if needed.

The extra overhead is always worth it when it comes to a UPS.
A monitor will generally pull about 35-50watts depending on what kind.
A system at idle with a 3090 will draw about 250w give or take.

I am running a 1080 and removed my video card.

edit: Looks like this is compatible with Synology. See compat list here: https://www.synology.co
