What size APS BackUPS unit do I need to protect my 27" iMac 2.8 GHz Intel Core i5, modem and Epson 2800 printer?

When you say Backups Unit are you talking about an Uninterruptible Power Supply?

A 1000 VA unit should be fine with plenty of overkill built in. Amazon has a nice selection to choose from: LINK

Yes, I'm talking about a surge protector/uninterruptible power supply

Look at THIS calculator from APC.

Also APC suggests that you plug the printer into the outlet that is surge protected but not battery protected.
Look HERE.

I agree that 1000VA is all you need. 1500 will run it longer on battery power but is $100 more.
