In that case I think you would be satisfied with an ISOBAR8ULTRA, ground loop isolator, and a couple power squids.
Use the ground loop isolator on the audio cable to your computer. Plug the speakers directly into one of the plugs on the surge supressor. The plugs on this supressor are arranged into four filter banks. Try different devices in plug paired with the speaker one and listen for any interference. This should take care of all your issues for under a hundred dollars and I don't think you will get much better performance without spending MUCH more.
edit: If your budget can stretch a bit more you may enjoy some of the features of the Digital Loggers Web Power Switch 4 or Ethernet Power Controller III. I can attest that they are quality products although they do not have any EMI/RFI filtering (which you may not need anyway).
+1 for those wallpapers.
And yes, a new surge protector. I like the Tripp Lite ISOBAR8ULTRA.

If the power goes out a lot where you live then I would go for the UPS. If not, just get a good surge protector. This is the one I use: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0000511U7 If you get hit with a surge, just call them and they will ship you a new surge protector for free. Check the reviews too, this is the best surge protector you can buy IMHO.
Just wanted to give you an update.
I have lots of tripplite products so I am confident in the quality but I just remembered that they have another product that may be enough for you. Isolation transformer might be overkill but will def take care of the pops you are getting on the line from the other appliances.
They also make this product.

Basically it has a coil to filter out noise which is what you want.
Just wanted to throw that out there since it may be another option as opposed to a heavy 1:1 isolation transformer.
What are the make and models of the PSUs?
Also, most 'surge protectors' don't protect against surges. this is a surge protector*.
This and things like this will do exactly fuckall.
Even the 'real' surge protector that I linked however will fail to do much if the power you are getting is just 'dirty'. Stuff like that will take the hit from say, a lightning bolt, but if that 120hz signal is wavering between 100 and 140, then your mileage may vary.
If you want real protection, get a battery backup. That'll partition your electronics away from the wall.
so are you not recommending surge protectors? what do you recommend? are you saying something like this is worthless?

For the $50,000-insurance'd surge protectors it's not a consumer brand. We work in manufacturing and maintenence will only order those surge protectors. They are pricey (like 55 bucks for an 8 port I think), but they've basically been really good at what they do for decades.

Just figured I'd add that if you were looking for more info on why Tripp Lite seems to have a good reputation in the industry.
Phew ya ok that makes a lot of sense.. Oh so what you were saying is you run your system above the standard voltage and it all works fine! gotcha.
I read somewhere though that little spikes and dips won't kill your gear instantaneously but it does damage them overtime perhaps eventually killing them..? I think they were talking about like the spikes and dips from Refrigerators and Vacuum cleaners being turned on and off and what not.
I saw up there that you're an EE student so maybe you can Mythbust this for me.
Also (sorry) but does this surge protector look sufficient? Looks intense enough to me..
Buy a Tripplite surge protector. They're extremely high quality and their warranty will cover up to $50,000 of damage if a surge damages any equipment plugged into it. I work in scientific research, and my old lab had every rig plugged into one for noise reduction and surge protection with the warranty.
They're heavy, and a fair deal more expensive than most surge protecters, but it's well worth it in my opinion, for just the situation you've encountered.
I believe they also have models that accept ethernet.
