I had the same problems in my apartment, but caused by the weird weather
instead of a blower moter. My MacII is plugged into a surge supressing
power strip which is plugged into a surge supressed wall socket (both of
these were pretty cheap items). The macII is the only thing in my house
that never reacts to power spikes. My TV and stereo are both plugged only
into a surge supressed wall socket and they both exhibit a little flicker
on power spikes. So I suggest you try using a second supressor before
spending a lot of money on a power conditioner.
