Does anyone use Eaton 9130 series UPS for anything? I'm curious how
they've worked out for you.

I bought a 700VA model to give it a whirl versus the traditional APC
since the Eaton is an online type with static bypass and also does some
high efficiency thing where it normally stays on bypass, but the first
thing it did on the bench was have the inverter/rectifier or bypass
section catch on fire and destroy itself.

Was this the 2U rackmount form factor, or the tower? 

Either way, I hope that you will pursue this with APC tech support. That's
a pricey piece of gear, and it shouldn't toast itself at any time.
