Line going down my monitor?

Ok so I've been doing my own research and lots of places are giving me lots of answers, and as always I come to H/A for the final word.
My monitor(s) all have a single line going down them at all times, why is that?
And if it's power from a cheap power bar that's the issue, is getting a higher-end power bar (read: Monster Cable power bar, that $250 one) a better idea? I ask because I get them for really cheap at my work (we get them for like $30-40 at work), if that is so the problem.
A heads up: I updated my graphics card drivers (that was one of the problems) and my three CRTs (two for compy one for the PS3/360 VGA) are in two different powerbars).

You must be sterile by now.
EM from computer? What does that mean? And I have Altec Lansing and Logitech 5.1 systems in my room (side by side since I need one for the PC and one for the consoles) and they make PC speakers so no way they couldn't be shielded no?
Computers sometimes emit an em field that messes with CRTs. They also emit radio noise. Cell phones near a monitor will cause lines, but usually only when receiving calls. Basically any electronics shooting out em and radiation is a potential culprit. You can shield stuff with a Faraday cage, which is just wire mesh.
