yep, that's the hard life of most of our team members ;-p

well both are line-interactive (I thought Nova was an offline!).
imo, Nova is sufficient if you don't have a dedicated server room, since
Evolution as a noisy fan and a bit bigger in terms of footprint. Nova also
doesn't provide manageable outlets, and the design is less cute than
Evolution.

Have a look at the brochures, and tell me back your preference:
http://www.mgeops.com/index.php/products__1/120v_208v_products/ups/nova_avr
http://www.mgeops.com/index.php/products__1/120v_208v_products/ups/evolution

I will also need a delivery address, and a phone number.
If you can do that quickly, that would be nice since I have another
providing underway for the US.

btw, you can also contact me back to start working on the documentation. I'm
mostly done with the big things.

cheers,
Arnaud
