Plz recommend a good UPS with back up time of at least 10 mins.
It will be used to drive a PC with a 600W PSU.
Recommend anything cheap- within 3K- 3.5K.

The worst of the lot are Powercom, Mercury, iBall... and I'm sure many others. Dont ruin your equipment for a few hundred bucks... just get an APC.

GO for APC. I am using it from last 4-5 years. They deliver what they commit in terms of backup time. They also have a good after sales support, in case you have any problem which includes replacement of faulty UPS with another UPS.

+1 for APC if you are looking for a quality product. I have used intex UPS before that and I know how unreliable that was. APC never let me down.

Also, APC comes with surge protection. Not sure if cheap UPSes provide that.
Also, few models have LAN cable port, to protect your computer from electric storm. If you are interested, you may buy that feature too. It is well within your budget.

My choice is the APC Back UPS 600.
