I don't follow. When you say glitch I'm thinking you mean a power
sag, voltage running a little high, or outage. Those are common power
glitches. They do not cause catastrophic loss on healthy hardware,
esp when a quality UPS is involved.
It sounds like you mean catastrophic surge. But even then a computer
with good protection in a well wired building should still not be
totally fried. UPS's generally have good surge protection and often
some kind of line conditioning as well. What exactly am I missing?
