With a plethora of killed hardware, I would be inclined to think power
supply fault.  I'd swap the power supply, presuming yours has a fault
that drives don't tolerate as well as the motherboard.  Power supplies
do fail, sometime all by themselves, sometimes due to external surges
(even if you go through a UPS, that's still not a guarantee that the
UPS protects your PSU, it would depend on how your UPS works).

On the latter note, surge protectors cannot be relied upon to protect
equipment from being killed by surges.  They may once or twice, but
there are transient surges all day long, every day.  So, they have a
hard job to do.  I put it this way; rather than protecting your device
from being killed by a surge, they're more about protecting your house
from being burnt down by a surge that could otherwise set fire to a
device.  It'd be great if they could do both, but I'll settle for the
later as a bare minimum.

NB:  My background is in electronics engineering and servicing.
