I'll be building two of my identical 680 SLi systems soon but now I'm a bit confused. Would two 850W systems run off one APC Back-UPS Pro 1500 VA UPS? I was planning to buy two of the same UPS but dad says i should use one UPS with my home theater so it would be great if I can use one of these for the two PC and the other one for my home theater setup.

What do you guys think?

I wouldn't.

That APC 1500 is 865 watts and it's not enough for two dual 680 SLI systems running under much of a load.
 
*sigh* okay then home theater will just have to make-do with just surge protectors >.<
