OK, obviously I'd need USB output for a Pi.  500 VA sounds way over
what I need, & I'm a bit concerned about the 40 dB noise --- that's
supposedly the same as a fridge, & I'm aiming to get it in the back of
a wardrobe (an irregularly shaped one with plenty of air space around
the equipment, not with clothes pressed up).
