If you have CRTs and that powerful of a system, make sure you get a > 1000 VA (VoltAmp) UPS to adequately protect against power sags/surges (APC makes the best kind) by providing constant power and power conditioning as well as being able to fully carry a 7-10 minute load for your PC and monitors. When you get LCDs the 1000+ VA system should be able to carry the load better, since CRTs suck power and LCDs are pretty conservative overall.

Thanks. I also forgot to mention that I get the feeling that my power isn't the cleanest in the world. It's possible that some of my electronics are just too old and are having problems of their own, but I wouldn't be surprised if they are getting dirty power.
