I am thinking about a power conditioner to solve my projector problems. Is there a 'value' power conditioner out there? I will most likely just have my projector and receiver connected to it.
Also, I need to find the link for the male outlet that would be used on the projector outlet at the wall. I think I remember a male outlet with a short extension cord connecting to the power conditioner.

Couple of options, links and ideas here for the power inlet.

Conditioners talked about here:

After thinking about it more. I'm trying to put a band aid on a bigger problem. I installed an Insteon switch on a poster box. When this is on a get the hum bars on the projector. I just now remembered that from time to time I am also getting a hum from my sub even when the switch/light is off. I think I have a ground loop problem that needs to be fixed.
I talk about the projector in this thread:

In the other thread, I recommended a line-interactive UPS (which would also let your PJ bulb cool down in a normal fashion after a power hit, assuming you have a bulb PJ). I can get them used for under $100 pretty regularly, and I can't imagine that wouldn't be enough to cure your interference problem.
I just bought 4 rack mount UPSs for $300 last week, so if you're near Boston, MA, you could buy one of my old cube UPSs cheaply. (Mods, if you don't like this paragraph, delete it; I'm not *really* trying to sell anything here, just trying to help someone out...)
