Power Conditioning for a mid-fi system.

I am trying to get the best components I can get, but on my budget I do what I can do; however, I think my system, when it is done, well be better than your average bears'. Anyway, I have been plugging all of my stuff into the same power strip and it is getting kind of messy. I would like to get a good power conditioner, but what, and at a budget price, new or used. I think I am going to get an ultimate outlet for my subwoofer just because it is so far away from my other stuff. I have had my eye on a PS Audio rig, but new it is out of my price range for now and used, well, that isn't happening. It seems to be a hot item. What else is there?

Any ideas would be helpful.

I'd start with a monster hts2000 (like $100-130 on shopping.yahoo.com). It doesn't have the extra (filting?) that the higher lever monster products have. I friend of mine has this, and it isn't too bad. He also has dedicated lines (which bigkidz mentioned). I think he was more pleased with the lines than the hts2000.

I went straight for a VansEvers clean line 85. There is a reference series with cryo'ed outlets (and maybe something else too). I haven't played with the Tice or Chang - but I've heard good things about them. The VansEvers is better than the monster hts2000, definitely. But unfortunately it runs about $400 used, or about $600 new.
