Updated or trying to clean up my electrical power, and need opinions or suggestions.
1.) The power coming into my HT appears to have noise or not clean. I notice the PJ image has bands that crawl slowly down the screen. I had this before at my old HT and I cleaned it up with a line conditioner. It did a great job, and the colors actually got deeper so I had to recalibrate the PJ, but in the end the image was much improved. The problem is my old PJ was not a ceiling mounted projector and my new one is. The previous line conditioner is to big and bulky to put in the ceiling next to the projector. My ceiling already has an outlet that I would like to use, just need a slim line conditioner(Surge Protection not required) that I could mount next to the PJ.
I have done some research, and have found one so far that might fit the bill, but I am not familiar with the company. I am currently leaning toward a "Furman AC-215".

If you are familiar with this item or have a suggestion on a better one please let me know. The only problem I see with this unit is the on switch appears to light up in RED. Wish it did not have this light, but if its a good unit, I will just try a way to take those bulbs out or hide the light some how.

2.) Since I need to clean the power for my other HT electronics, I am also looking for a rack mounted line conditioner. I have a middle atlantic rack, and I see lots of items that would fit nicely there. I would need something with about 6 outlets, and would like to know what you guys reccomened. I have read good stuff about the Panamax, Richard Gray's, and not so good with monster and tripp lite.
