Just to add my own .02 here, your power strip doesn't suppress the
emanations which are not coming from the electrical connections.
Here is an example of what I mean;

I used to work at IBM - Bethesda, and we had a demo room that backed up
to the main building transformers and incoming power lines (the main
junction for power). We couldn't use any demo machines that were closer
than 10 in. to that wall as it would cause the display to make nifty
snaketrack patterns that convinced you of the oddities of life...

Perhaps you have something of this nature occuring ?
