That one certainly doesn't have normal plugs, but I don't know about "most." The photo on the wiki page shows normal plugs:

I don't know how it is in the UK, but in the US computers generally have normal plugs, so a UPS with those funky sideways plugs (kettle plugs you call them? the first time I'd ever seen them was when I moved into this apartment this summer, because the AC uses plugs like that) would be pretty pointless. Obviously you wouldn't want to buy a UPS from this country though because of the frequency.

I know people often use them to buffer sensitive audio equipment from power flucuations (ie. exactly what milky joe described.) Milky Joe, I'm thinking you don't need to plug all of those into the UPS because they aren't as sensitive as an amp. The CRT TV for example.
