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?
