Amazon.com: Tripp Lite IS250 250W Isolation Transformer 2 outlet 6ft Cord: Electronics
Was thinking about getting a Hum-X when I saw that baby! Reason: I have dual monitors I'm going to hook up to my laptop. Did a little test today (with just one monitor since my USB to VGA adapter isn't here yet) and got a lot of buzz with my guitar. Everything is hooked up to a single powerstrip. If I get that thing I have linked above, I can just plug my power strip into that right? 250W is enough power too right (laptop, 75W amp, firebox, monitor speakers, monitor screens, keyboard...)?
One other thing, I heard that you instrument cables should be kept as far away from power cables or you risk having hum. Is this true and should I re-route all my cables in and organize them by separating power from instrument cables? Or should I not waste my time!?
Thanks!

The first one is the black one and the second is the white. The white I think is hospital grade (don't know the difference).
