I put a line conditioner (Tripp Lite LC1200) on my NeXT cube (after the 7.5  
earthquake, when I woke up scrambling to shut off my cube).  Before I bought  
the conditioner, I would occasionally get screen jitters during certain times  
of the day.  But everything's great now.  I recommend using a conditioner.
