That probably depends on how many drives you have installed (along with 
how much run-time you want, and how much you want to pay for replacement 
batteries every few years).

There's also the option of getting a 1500VA model (APC Smart-UPS 1500VA 
Silent Alarm SUA1500X413) with a silent alarm, and I'm not sure whether 
they make it in a 1000VA model.  If you have alternate notification 
methods and dislike the noisy alarms, that might be an option.

Our PE2800 is hooked up to a 1500VA unit, has 6 drives installed, and I 
think it lights up 2 out of 5 load indicators.  I don't have current 
numbers on the amount of runtime that gives us.  And there might be one 
or two other lightweight (KVMs) pieces of equipment attached.
