Oh grandma! What big eyes you have. Oh grandma! What big teeth you have. This is also proof that APC conditions power.

Maffick, did you read the technical response - with numbers - before posting? This is your $60-$100 power conditioner:

Look at an output when UPS is in battery backup mode. That modified sine wave is a 270 volt spike surrounded by 200 volt square waves.

It connects computer directly to AC mains when not in battery backup mode. Where is the conditioning? Is that internal relay a power conditioner? That is what you have claimed. Its called Rush Limbaugh logic. It does not really exist. But the naive will promote it as fact anyway.

A big rack UPS that is properly earthed provides effective transient protection as well as clean UPS power. A plug-in UPS actually creates more transients than it (claims to) suppress. So where is all this power conditioning? I noticed you never once posted numbers - as Rush Limbaugh also avoids. Shame on you for even implying a plug-in APC UPS "conditions" power. Its called promoting myths.
