I know there is a battery in desktop computers that powers the BIOS and the clock, but why not have a larger battery in case of power failure? This would be similar to a laptop battery, but smaller. When the computer detects that the power input has been removed, it would operate on the battery.
It
would only be built to sustain power for about 5 minutes, to keep the cost low. However, this could save work in case of a blackout, power failure, or even accidental disconnection.
Part of the voltage input would be transferred to charge the battery, which would not take long.

Many server-type desktops do have built-in
batteries, usually added-on (added-in?) back UPS
companies. Problem is, it's really expensive, and
troublesome to deal with when the battery
eventually dies. It's easier to user a UPS like
skegger suggested. |

This is extremely baked, considering I'm using one right now. |
