No offence intended, but check your notes on DELTA vs. WYSE AC Power. I believe I have pontificated on this list about that quite enough in the last decade to correct YOUR errors Lennart.
Perhaps you meant delta vs wye 3 phase power. All that means is different ways to connect 3 phase transformers.
You didn't even know what the centre tap is, so how could you be expected to understand dirty AC and the power's relationship to 64 bit ARCH, VLIW, UART, LSBinit, SGML, HTML, XML, dependency based booting in Debian, or why they are called script kittys, or the universe in near and far field effects, randomness and time modification in transmissions.
Given today's power supplies, I don't see much of an issue with "dirty" power getting through to the circuitry. In a computer power supply, we have single phase power that's rectified, run through a power oscillator to produce high frequency AC, which is passed through a transformer, rectified and regulated. Not much chance for that dirty power to make it through. Of course, the circuit board will also have capacitors distributed around it to further reduce noise and improve regulation.
