Check out RefurbUPS.com and you can get something (mostly APC) in the
$50 range, maybe even less. They also have the interface cables, though
they are still mostly serial which might be an issue depending on your
hardware. Disclaimer, I have no connection but as a happy customer 3-4
times.
There are at least three Debian/Ubuntu UPS monitoring packages: apcupsd,
nut and upsd. We've talked about these on the list before, I think, but
I have to admit that I still haven't gotten around to configuring any of
them. It's on my list... But it sounds like your single-server
use-case will be easier than my case.
Good luck,
JP

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
