Musta missed this when it was posted--sorry.
I'd worry most about the heads not parking and then plowing up the hard
drive. Voltage spikes would be tough on the power supplies and might feed
through to the electronics. Drops followed by sudden surges would stress
the power supply filter caps, etc. Momentary low line frequency wouldn't be
good for anything relying on inductance. Every time the power comes back
on, even for a few seconds, the PC would start up again, reboot, then crash
when the power went off.

Hi,
I don't configure my PC to self power up when power is lost and
returned. Making it go up and down repeatedly is a foolish thing to do.
