150 dollars at Best Buy?  If I had money I could buy one.

For their setup, they need something much more substantial than that to 
stay up for any length of time through a mains power failure.

They run something more than just a 200W PC...

The 200 watt version is about 60 dollars.  2 of those, with the small
batteries removed, and deep cycle marine batteries wired in will run 4
500 watt PC's for quite some time.
