I dont think such UPS is available. How would a UPS know that system is shut down. It outputs power but does not input any information from MB. Tell me if I am wrong... :)

Hey buy APC BE500Y
*www.apc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=BE500Y-IN
and forget everthing ..

I got the 650VA model ..gives 25min backup on 15" monitor its the best, comes with data cable n software..shuts down the pc when u are not on desk.

APC is the best!! Good quality, good support!

500va models is just Rs.1850 now
